Starting point is 00:00:00 The Joe Rogan Experience. Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night. All day. That one's not good. But hey, you never know until you try. You know? Can't hate a guy for trying. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:00:19 This motherfucker and his dick pills. You believe this guy? I took two different brands last week. Why not go to a doctor and tell him your dick is broken? Because it's not broken. He will give you amazing drugs. I'm not saying that it's broken. I'm saying tell the doctor it's broken.
Starting point is 00:00:33 Do they have a test, though? Does he rub it and go like, you're lying. He sucks your cock for five minutes. And if you can think of dead puppies for five minutes, then he'll give you the pills. They can't say no, can they? There's no way for them to test that. Of, they can't say no, can they? There's no way for them to test that. Of course they can't say no. No, they don't want to say no.
Starting point is 00:00:48 They stimulate your prostate with a large three-finger death grip, and then if you get hard, they don't give you the pill. Oh, whatever. I'm there. They can't, obviously. I mean, they're going to take your word for it. Why would you say that you can't get hard if you could get hard? Well, you wouldn't lie about that, would you?
Starting point is 00:01:09 Nobody breaks their dick with that stuff, do they? Can you possibly, like, break it so that you, like, you can't get a boner without it? You know how, like, some dudes, they get addicted to those sinus sprays? Mm-hmm. You know, if you pump sinus sprays. The biggest problem is the psychological addiction. You know, like, back when we were selling the rock hard that worked back at Fleshlight because it had Viagra or Cialis in it or whatever it had in it, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:01:30 But back when it worked, there was people who would take it and they'd get, you know, they'd start off with a girl, right? And they'd be hooking up with a girl and they'd be like, oh, my God, you're a god among men. And then they'd get that in their head. And then if they didn't have it, know they would start to panic and then their brain would start to take action as soon as the brain gets activated in the sexual act isn't it crazy isn't it crazy how different you can get excited for one girl over another like there are some girls and we all know them in your life where when you're around them it's just like instant flagpole
Starting point is 00:02:03 and then there's other girls where it's just for whatever reason, they can look just as pretty, they can be just as nice, they can be just as attractive, but there's some freak connection you have with certain people. I think it's the smell. I think it's the juice. Really? Do you think so? Fair amount, yeah. I think so. Same thing, really.
Starting point is 00:02:22 What you're saying is kind of true, like the juice. Yeah, I think so. Same thing, really. What you're saying is kind of true. Like the juice. Yeah. Their essence. They do have them. They do. Au jus. They do. Is that how you say it? What is that French dip?
Starting point is 00:02:32 They say au jus. Is that what it's called? Au jus. Au jus. I never knew how to say that. They've done some experiments. I would point to that at the restaurant. I know it on the other way where they've had guys sleep in the same shirt for a few weeks
Starting point is 00:02:42 or whatever. And then they have girls smell the shirts. shirt for you know a few weeks or whatever and then they have girls smell the shirts and they'll be very attracted to one shirt and completely repulsed by another shirt just by smelling the actual pheromones in it well I would lose that one for sure I'm going down I too much meat it's all coming out my pores and shit I've smelled some of my clothes. Some savage girls. The worst is jujitsu because you sweat so much and then you take your shit off and you throw it in your gym bag.
Starting point is 00:03:12 And then you throw your gym bag in a trunk where it cooks. Because it's 110 degrees in LA. So you're driving around with your gym bag cooking in the trunk. And then you pop that bitch open and unzip it. And it's just like ammonia and funk and and that's where there's a lot of skin diseases that people get from that stuff because they don't wash those things enough and you're essentially you're rolling around and microbes and bacteria and shit and the worst part is not when it's fresh like fresh sweat is not that bad same as fresh urine
Starting point is 00:03:41 you can drink your own fresh urine all the time. Believe me, I know. But if you leave a cup of that urine out for a day or so, don't fucking drink that. That's poison. I would agree with you. Because it's like a breeding ground for further bacteria. Same with your gym clothes. I would agree. Sound advice?
Starting point is 00:03:58 Don't drink old piss. That should be a meme. That's the next meme. But you, Uncle Aubrey says, don't drink old piss. Hear it on it. We don't recommend drinking your own piss when it's old. Stir it first. So I'm thinking of trying to do an aminina muscaria experience.
Starting point is 00:04:19 And I'm thinking I'm going to eat it and then drink my piss and see what's up. Yeah, that's what you're supposed to do. I would say no. What? I would say don't do it. I would say don't do it. Just try it once and then. I got to eat it and then drink my piss and see what's up. Yeah, that's what you're supposed to do. I would say no. What? Unless they don't do it. Unless they don't do it. Just try it once and then. I got to try it.
Starting point is 00:04:29 I've tried everything else. For real, folks, this is the shamanic tradition. I know you're listening to this and you're like, there's no way these guys are serious. No, the true shamanic tradition is it was explained to me by this guy, Jack Harer. It was explained to me by this guy, Jack Herrer, and he said that the idea is that you eat the drug, the plant, the mushroom. Amanita muscaria, yeah. Which has a very different, it's not psilocybin. It's some other type of hallucinogenic. What you're shooting for is muscimol.
Starting point is 00:04:57 The active compound is muscimol. And it acts on a very different mechanism, actually. Yeah. So the mechanism of action of amanita muscaria, it actually acts as a GABA agonist. So it's going to give you more of the neurotransmitter GABA. Whereas psilocybin, the mechanism of action that they're recently finding, which I learned a lot about at the MAPS conferences,
Starting point is 00:05:16 mechanism of action of psilocybin is it's actually restricting blood flow to your default mode network part of your brain, which is your top-down control mechanism in your brain, so that basically your mental cerebral filter that allows you to focus on the day-to-day mundane tasks starts to go to sleep. And that happens to be the center that controls depression
Starting point is 00:05:35 and a bunch of other things, which is why the clinical application is proving so important and impressive in all these people. But that's a totally different mechanism of action than the amenita muscaria, which is basically flooding your brain with more GABA, from what I understand. But the muscimol is a tricky beast, and it doesn't necessarily come out through your gut. However, once it gets processed through your kidneys and you piss it,
Starting point is 00:06:00 it can be passed up to five times, they say, through different people. So, like, I could piss, and then you could drink it. You could piss, give it to Brian. He could drink it. And then Brian could give it to two other people, and everybody would be high as fuck. Mommy and dad. Wow. That's what they say.
Starting point is 00:06:17 How would they know? How would they know? Why would they find out? What are we doing with our lives? We're sitting around drinking each other's piss to get high. What are you, singing fairies? Cocksucker? Drinking piss and watching Pluto?
Starting point is 00:06:30 You're supposed to be kind of like a little bit drunk and a little bit high, like a psychedelic. I only had one experience and it didn't work. You didn't drink your own piss. You got to commit. Got to go in. You can't just put the tip in you gotta go balls deep is that how it works you're supposed to just eat it and then drink your own piss and that's what gets you high i mean there's some ways that i think you can heat
Starting point is 00:06:53 it and like lightly bake it i don't know but i think the the surefire way if you really want to commit is to eat it then drink your piss and then you can you know but you feel so stupid if it didn't work that's true sitting there with piss mouth and not high and just thinking what kind of a loser am i i should just become a republican okay i should just go the other way and get single malt scotch and sneak in some cuban cigars and just become an asshole should have ran in a movie well i'm but if it works sitting around eating mushrooms and drinking piss, what the fuck am I doing with my life?
Starting point is 00:07:29 You got a dirty garage. Like, I was going to get to that, but I had to eat mushrooms and drink my own piss first. I'm a fucking real winner over here. I'm going to film it for all the savages so they can see what's up. Because it is perfectly legal in the U.S. Ammonium is not a scheduled substance. So the reward, if it works and it was awesome, is pretty cool because we'd actually have something legal
Starting point is 00:07:48 to do. Yeah, and you're just going to encourage people to do that? No, I'm not encouraging that. Look, please, let me be the guinea pig here. I don't know. It could be terrible, but I'll let you know. You have to post it if it's bad also. You have to have a post of it if you're sitting there just like all with pissy mouth. Just mad at myself. Just self-hate.
Starting point is 00:08:04 Just feeling the lowest of the low. I've never met anybody who's had a good one. Has had a good amniotic muscaria experience. Not that I can remember anybody telling me about one. They've always said like, oh, it didn't work for me. Yeah. I met somebody who had a weird one and a not so good one. Bad odds.
Starting point is 00:08:22 You just want to drink pee, bro. Weird and not so good, but there is piss drinking, so come on! Join the party! There's such a tradition around it, though. Not only that, we can all drink each other's piss. Come on over here. Aubrey's got it all figured out. You just got to get it fresh.
Starting point is 00:08:37 See? One guy pisses into you, and then you piss into him. No, no, no, see? That's not how it's done. I forgot to bring cups. That's not how it works. I just piss in your mouth. Is that what we're doing here? Straight from the spout. What kind of party are we doing here?
Starting point is 00:08:49 It's the freshest way to get it. I'll piss in his ass. I'll piss in your mouth. We're going to work this out. We're going to get high as fuck. The human dick-a-peed. The human dick-a-peed. That is exactly what it would be.
Starting point is 00:09:04 He's trying to trick us. And you stumble upon this fucking party. You open up the tent door. What the fuck? There's piss all over the place. A bunch of guys with their cocks in their hands. We're just trying to get enlightenment. But imagine if it does work and you get someone really high and they love it.
Starting point is 00:09:17 Then you could trick them constantly. Yo, I just took some. Here's my piss. You just get them to drink it. You're like, I don't feel it yet. Nothing but vitamins. There's too much cum in to drink it I don't feel it yet It's too much cum in this piss I don't feel it yet Why does it taste like total primate care
Starting point is 00:09:30 Maybe some T plus Did you pack it like a musket Did you pack the musket cock Why is Dr. Laser wearing lipstick We need to call Dr. Laser And ask him how many of those books behind him he's read. Because it's driving us crazy. I picture Dr. Laser, he's got those old school books that nobody really reads.
Starting point is 00:09:50 Yeah. But he's old. He's read them. I don't know. That's the best way to answer. That's the best way to finish that. Say, I don't know. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:10:00 But he does have the brain surgery kit from Napoleon's field doctor, which is pretty cool. Holy shit. That's in his office, yeah. They had a brain surgery kit back then? Yeah, it's just like big saw. It looks more like woodworking equipment, but like really finely crafted made woodworking equipment. Jesus Christ. Things that like crack things, things that saw things.
Starting point is 00:10:21 Oh my God. It's pretty intense. And he actually uses it. Basically, he has his patients walk by it, and if they get queasy and they can't handle it, he's like, nah, you're not the person for me. Because he's a tinkerer. I mean, he's going to go in there and actually cut your head
Starting point is 00:10:33 and do some work. That's what his specialty is. He's done like 3,000 open skull surgeries or something like that. Oh, my God. Yeah, he's an OG. He's cool. Holy shit. Could you imagine working on 3,000 brains?
Starting point is 00:10:50 Yeah. What an incredible power that must be to those guys, like that they can fix someone's brain. Mechanically. Cut out your cancer and fix your brain and then send you back to live a healthy life. Yep. And he did.
Starting point is 00:11:07 I met one of the guys that he did that for. This guy is one of his patients and is pretty remarkable. Went through there, did the brain surgery. And that's actually how I met Dr. Lazarus. He did the brain surgery. Then he took a bunch of the ingredients we have in AlphaBrain2 and he recovered like way fast. This is, of course, just one story. an alpha brain too and he recovered like way fast this is of course just one story but he recovered super fast and that turned dr lazar on to the potential for these herbs to work in conjunction
Starting point is 00:11:30 with what he was doing on the brain so that's how we kind of got got hooked up that's interesting did he ever talk to um uh romanowski no he hasn't but we talked about that a little bit i think it's actually in the long interview that we have up there. But, yeah, the brain damage issue is pretty serious. I don't think he's ever been hooked up with Bill, though. Yeah, well, Romanowski, that's why he created that Neuro 1. That was the first nootropic that I'd heard of. We were on No Name and Alice, or Alice and No Name.
Starting point is 00:12:02 Sarah and No Name. Sarah and No Name, rather No Name rather on Alice radio yeah anyway and No Name I forget his real name I just always called him No Name
Starting point is 00:12:12 how weird is that cool guy anyway he was training with Bill Romanowski and Bill Romanowski got him to start eating healthy
Starting point is 00:12:20 and started giving him this Neuro One shit it was like it's a nootropic but it's also got like a little bit of caffeine in it. Pretty interesting stuff. And he developed it because of concussions. Yeah, makes sense.
Starting point is 00:12:31 You've got to feed back the brain when it's been deprived from getting swollen, swollen and pushed up against your skull. Not a good program. I was at a neurological research center today, and one of the things that these people were telling me while they were there, I was there for this silly TV show, but there's people that take their kids there. Like if the kids are involved in football, and they have football injuries,
Starting point is 00:13:00 and they're talking about it like these kids are like 15, 16 years old and just have these massive concussions. And the father's just like, well, when can you get back in there? And the mother is like, is he going to be okay? The mothers are concerned that their kid is getting really badly hurt, and the fathers, they want him to get back in there. It's weird. She was describing it to me, like these situations that she's dealing with with these fathers and these kids,
Starting point is 00:13:22 and she's like, it's really creepy because these kids don't know any better and they're just running they're like their dads like want them to get back in there like they get concussed like do you understand what that is do you understand what getting shut off is running at each other colliding heads do you know whoa man the brain there's so much more we still have to learn about it did you happen to see that thing on 60 minutes where they're they're people who are now able to control prosthetic limbs with their thoughts alone? Did you see that? So basically they hook up these arms. Now, the first version prototype was they hooked the arms up and they actually hardwire it somehow into the nerves.
Starting point is 00:14:01 But it's still their thoughts that can allow them. They can shake hands with people just from their brain telling this completely prosthetic arm to shake hands or grab a ball. They can tell if a ball is hard or tell if a ball is soft just from feedback. It's bilateral. So it's not only their squeezing, but their fingers can give signals to their brain and let them know if what they're squeezing is hard or soft. So it goes both ways.
Starting point is 00:14:25 And then they figured out how to hook it up wirelessly so that they can actually control arms that are not even on them. And they can make those arms move just with their thoughts. So this was on 60 Minutes like a week ago. I was fucking blown away. So like an avatar type thing. Totally. Well, not that that but the first steps like the big
Starting point is 00:14:46 baby steps towards that Wi-Fi doing it with Wi-Fi yeah I mean what is that do you remember that
Starting point is 00:14:53 that's the old experiments where they pretty much did shit like that let me see oh those Russian oh don't show me this the dog head one that shit ain't cool
Starting point is 00:15:00 I don't even know if that's real is that real yeah it's real I don't want to believe that's real. Is that real? Yeah, it's real. I don't want to believe that's real. Yeah, it was a cool segment on 60 Minutes. That was literally like probably two weeks ago. Wow, that's fucking freaky.
Starting point is 00:15:13 Mm-hmm. The crazy part to me was the fact that they could, it was giving them signals back from their fingers to their brain. That was what really blew my mind. I mean, I guess the whole thing did. Just the fact that you think of this brain and thoughts as this kind of nebulous thing but it's actually it is a signal there is some kind of electrical signal that they can get a machine program a machine to
Starting point is 00:15:37 receive and respond based upon a thought a willful action to do something, it can pick that up. I don't know how the hell that happens. And imagine if they can do that now. Imagine what a thousand years from now is going to be. Yeah. We probably will be able to just lie in bed and send our robot out to do everything we need to do. Drive the car, you know, and we look through its eyes. As it drives the car, we look through its eyes
Starting point is 00:16:04 as it goes to the supermarket, picks up groceries, and we look through its eyes. As it drives the car, we look through its eyes as it goes to the supermarket, picks up groceries, and we're just sitting there beating off, beating off, pretending we're this person, and the robot wanders through the fucking town, does all your tasks, come back home, and you never leave the house. Yeah. But imagine, and then the application for sports, there's been a couple movies like that, but you could go full, let's say you created this kind of android creature that you could control
Starting point is 00:16:26 with your mind. You could go full gladiator style with net and trident, sword, and just have the most brutal, obviously it would be expensive because machines are expensive,
Starting point is 00:16:34 whatever. But it'd be sweet. It'd be crazy. Playing bumper cars with a Ferrari. That's true. That's true. You wouldn't want to just
Starting point is 00:16:41 take your fucking awesome robot body and torture it. Fight people with it. Yeah, no, don't do that. But I bet you know what they would do? You know how people play The Sims? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:52 I bet they would play a real live version of The Sims. Just let their human body go out there and interact with all these other robot bodies. They take their body. They lie down and they look through the body or look through the eyes of this thing and then send it off like it's a little game and you send your robot out and your robot goes and fucks other robots and parties and your robot's an animal and he drinks and drives
Starting point is 00:17:14 because he doesn't even live in the real world he lives in this fucking crazy robot world and then we realize that's what's already happening and we're the robots the TV has turned us into robots I keep on thinking simulation theory shit, like your inner voice is actually you in the future,
Starting point is 00:17:29 like talking to yourself or something like that. It could be, right? I think everybody knows, especially when you're an impulsive fuck, like I know you are, and I am, and you've been too, son. We've all been a little impulsive. And there's always when you're about to do something and there's that voice that goes, don't fucking do it, dude. You've all been a little impulsive. And there's always when you're about to do something and there's that voice that goes, don't fucking do it, dude.
Starting point is 00:17:47 You've got to listen to that voice. Always. That voice is always right. You know, there's like a weird rush on the other side, too, that tells you not to do it. Like it's going to feel good. You know, like when you're about to yell at somebody and you know you shouldn't? Right. There's pretty much no reason ever to yell at somebody.
Starting point is 00:18:06 You're right. But when you get this kind of like energy that comes up and it feels like it's going to be good to release it. Yep. What the fuck is that? That's you protecting yourself. But why does it feel good though? It feels good because sometimes people need to be shown that they're cunts. It's like an evolutionary response like
Starting point is 00:18:26 the only way people learn um how to behave is by feedback the way they learn how to be harmonious with their fellow brothers and sisters of the world is by feedback and when you're not good at it and you get bad feedback all the time and you don't adjust that's like a sign of mental illness or stupidity or a lack of education or lack of someone explaining or your own personal critical thinking involving the way the world works. But for most people, as you get older, you get way better at communicating because you've gone through this feedback loop several times and you sort of stabilize it and you know what people like and what they don't like and you know how to get things off on the right foot and how not to and it's like sort of easier to navigate and that the key there is as you know the key there is not to become completely enslaved by the
Starting point is 00:19:17 feelings and thoughts and the kind of world around you and so that you're constantly living to please what the Toltecs would call the dream you know the co-created world around you so so that you're constantly living to please what the Toltecs would call the dream, you know, the co-created world around you. So yes, don't be a dick, you know, learn not to hurt people. But then at the same time, don't judge yourself according to all of these opinions that are generally wrong. Anyways, people don't necessarily always want you to be your best, you know, so you got to find your inner path as well as adjust to guiding principles. That's a real problem for young people when they're dealing with haters, like the first haters in their life, you know, like it could be someone who's at work
Starting point is 00:19:56 with you or someone you go to school with or whatever, but it might be like the first time in your life where someone like actively hates on you and that shit can affect you and i always say that it's like snake venom and that like having a little bit of hater is like good because you know how to deal with it and then when when you get a full blast of it you're like bitch i'm immune to that stupid shit right you know like you've been bitten a few times you understand it because people who don't have never been hated on before like you see them get hated on they're like oh my goodness just that wave of negativity that can erupt at any time on the internet. Absolutely. I felt that, you know, I felt that the first time, obviously in sports or whatever, you get these mild detractors, but you can always kind of see them. But then as soon as I stepped
Starting point is 00:20:37 into the public eye, a lot of support, a lot of love, amazing people I've met. And then a contingency of people who hate me just despise me and i was looking and i'm like why why do you hate me what is the reason like i couldn't properly deal with it i think there's i had to talk to as many people i could and just kind of sort it out so there's some people that are just going to be negative no matter what but there's also it's a fucked up thing but there's a truth in that it's good to get your ass kicked and it's good to get your ass kicked on by the internet too it's good you know it doesn't seem like it's good when it's happening and it might be completely
Starting point is 00:21:19 off base but if it's right even a little bit they're doing you a service because they're pointing out holes in your game up your game yeah they're pointing out holes in your game and it might be it might be fair but it might not be fair too you got to deal with that too but that's part of the game that's part of you and eventually so hopefully we all hope for some form of personal sovereignty where no matter what anybody says about you or how anybody describes you, it's a better way of putting it, you know who you are and you're all right. And like all they're doing is exposing this need to detract from another person, this need to diminish another person, which is a massive weakness. It is. And we've all been guilty of. For sure.
Starting point is 00:22:07 And along with that, it's also learning to take the praise not too seriously. Yes. You can't get your tires too pumped up and really buy into that whole thing. And that'll lead you down a stray weird path of ego and feeding off that kind of energy. That's no good either. Either detractors or too much praise just appreciate it for what it is but really judge yourself by your own criteria you know you know only you know really if you did your best if you put out the maximum effort to try and
Starting point is 00:22:38 achieve the result and only you should be able to judge yourself yeah well if you're if you're really objective especially and that's what we should all strive for, right? Like real objectivity. If you could really just fucking really look at what you're doing right or wrong and what you're enjoying about your life and what you're not, kind of get that bitch back on track. Sometimes it's harder to see yourself than it is to see other people, which is why a lot of the most fucked up people with the most fucked up lives
Starting point is 00:23:03 always want to give you advice. Yeah. Like who wants to give you more advice than someone whose life is a mess? You know what you got to do, man? You got to get together with your girl and you got to work this out. Okay? I know you don't want to work this out, but you got to work this. And you're like, are you really giving advice on relationships, you crazy fuckhead?
Starting point is 00:23:19 They say that most of the people who get degrees in psychology are the ones who are trying to work out their own problems the most vehemently. I mean, I don't know. That's just hearsay. But that's kind of the old maxim. Yeah. I would think psychologists would do the weirdest shit when they beat off. You know what I mean? What is a sexual, like one of those people that's like a sexual counselor, what do they beat off to?
Starting point is 00:23:42 They've got to be constantly analyzing. It can't be that much fun. Yeah, right? Like how do they really off to? They've got to be constantly analyzing. It can't be that much fun. Yeah, right? How do they really totally cut loose? You're constantly thinking about whether or not what you did is good. Objectivity is a real challenge, and I think one of the tools that both me and you have found have been different ways to break through that kind of mental patterning
Starting point is 00:24:02 that gets you in trouble. So the tank is a great way to do it. And then there's different meditation techniques that are great ways. But sometimes for us really thick-skulled monkeys like myself and you and some other people, when we just need something heavier to do it. And I think that's when I've gone to Peru and done the ayahuasca, or you can go hopefully somewhere safe and do a heavy psilocybin trip or find some way to actually get that part of your mind to really be objective,
Starting point is 00:24:31 to kind of cut out all the bullshit and look at yourself with a true reflection. Yeah, and I feel like there's certain doors that get open when you have those experiences. And when those doors get open, it's like the whole world just takes a turn to the left like it's just not the same world anymore yeah it's just not and that's scary for a lot of people man and it makes sense but you gotta really look at it objectively and one of the things you got to look at is do you really like the world the way it is I really scared and taking a left turn into crazyville crazyville might not be that bad.
Starting point is 00:25:06 Trust me. The regular world is crazy enough. Take a little trip down the leprechaun lane and have a chat with the pixies in the other dimensions. It's not a bad idea. You gotta know what the fuck is going on with your brain, though. That's the problem. I would never tell anybody to do mushrooms
Starting point is 00:25:21 or acid, even though I have. I would never tell anybody to do any... Now, today, knowing what I know, would never tell anybody to do mushrooms or acid even though i have i would never tell anybody to do any now today knowing what i know would never tell anybody to do any psychedelic because i don't know how the fuck their brain works true and then so having in in something i always kind of reiterate having a really good guide is important someone who can not only ask you questions but kind of look you in the eye analyze what you should or should not do i mean even the shamans down in Peru, part of the ceremony is before you get the ayahuasca, they kind of get a sense of you, even if you can't speak the language, but they get a sense of you. And you can sense crazy, you know, like especially they're highly tuned to do that.
Starting point is 00:25:58 And they look at you. As am I. As am I. Some people get like a really little tiny, you third of a cup right and then they go on their way because that's all that the shamans know that's all they can handle that's all they're in for and then other people you know they'll fill that bitch to the brim and be like come back for more if you want it and just you drink that thick thick brown bittery fiery ayahuasca into your stomach you know what i've never understood about the ayahuasca thing i'm gonna have, fiery ayahuasca into your stomach. You know what I've never understood about the ayahuasca thing?
Starting point is 00:26:27 I'm going to have to do ayahuasca to learn this. The tobacco thing. What is it about blowing tobacco smoke that activates some of the hallucinogens? I think it has to do with your nicotinic receptors in your brain. So there's something,
Starting point is 00:26:43 the DMT, the tryptamine, like a stack, like you're stacking these. I don't know, but you know, that's these receptors and this is swimming a little deeper than I probably can go, but I think it has something, you know, nicotine acts on certain mental receptors. Um, I think it's your nicotinic receptors and then tryptamine acts on certain receptors and somehow there is a somehow there is a synergy there. I haven't necessarily experienced that, but what I did experience, which is really weird, I have no very good explanation for this, but at the end of one particular ceremony, he smoked the tobacco, the shaman smoked the tobacco rustica, which is different than the tobacco that we smoke. It's a
Starting point is 00:27:23 different species of plant entirely. So tobacco rustica, they smoked different than the tobacco that we smoke. It's a different species of plant entirely. So tobacco rustica, they smoked a big hand rolled cigarette from that. And he like blew the smoke all over my body. I didn't feel anything at the moment. I was like, okay, well, I'm gonna smell like this burnt plant. Cool. That's good. But he really like took care and put it on certain points. And there's always some kind of purgative element to the ayahuasca. But that night, I was like, shitting and vomiting, like I, like, there was some evil in my body that was trying to escape, like the most violent purge I've ever had in my life. It was and it went on for hours. I don't know where stuff was coming out of my body.
Starting point is 00:28:06 Right? And I've done ayahuasca many times, so I know what the normal purge is. Do they have outhouses? Four or five times. You have a little toilet in your place. You have a running water toilet? Depends. Sometimes, no.
Starting point is 00:28:21 Sometimes that's just a hole. And sometimes you do have running water, depending on where you go. But a lot of times they don't have toilet lids because you're not supposed to sit there and really enjoy it. You're supposed to just hover, blow it out, and then wipe and put it in a basket. That's kind of the general program. You put it in a basket? Yeah, because they can't flush toilet paper down the system. Oh.
Starting point is 00:28:42 But anyway, so there's some kind of cleansing aspect to it it doesn't make any sense like the science i don't know i don't understand but i know that you know they believe it's a cleansing you know ritual and it certainly had that effect on me wow just blows it out and then that tobacco it kicked it in that's what kicked something something and he blew a lot of smoke all of them and then the next day he sees me and he starts laughing as i'm walking like walking by him he just starts laughing and he asked me you know how was last night and and i had someone with me who could help me translate i was like what the hell did you do to me and he's just laughing and laughing and just pats me on the back and just keeps on walking like he knew that's exactly what he was
Starting point is 00:29:24 going to do wow so he was doing that just to get you to get rid of all the shit inside of you and throw clean it all out yes and then dose up yeah and then the next night wild dragon juice exactly and the next night was the night that I went out and did the ride on that smoke that makes sense yeah Wow, he cleaned your system out with some smoke. Yeah. Did you hear that they found DMT in the pineal gland of live rats? Of live rats. Huge. Yeah, huge. This is Rick Strassman's Cottonwood Research Foundation.
Starting point is 00:29:59 He just, I mean, this is something that they had speculated for the longest time. And I thought it was a fact. I mean, this is something that they had speculated for the longest time, and I thought it was a fact. I thought that they had known it was a fact until Voodoo Chicken on my message board was, I think, the first guy to clue me into the fact that there's only anecdotal evidence. And he was challenging Strassman on the message, but this is the first time they can prove that at least in rodents, it's in the pineal gland of a live rat. Yeah, I think when you're, the way they, let's suppose it was the spirit molecule, right? Let's suppose that hypothesis is true, and it is some part of conducting the spirit from source into life and then back out.
Starting point is 00:30:44 Let's say that there is some activation for that. It makes sense that they wouldn't find the active concentrations in the dead pineal glands because presumably its purpose was done there. But to see it there in live, in live, you know, and while it's living, I think is pretty cool. At least opens up that theory as a possible. One of the interesting things about taking the DMT was the shortness of the trip.
Starting point is 00:31:12 And that's what the thing that people always comment on, that one of the signs that this isn't a deadly drug is how easy your body can get rid of it. Your body can get rid of it and bring you back to baseline in 15 minutes. Like you're on this voyage to another dimension. And then 15 minutes later, your body's like, okay, nothing to see here. We're just going to clean this up, folks.
Starting point is 00:31:33 Yeah. What'd you cook? Spaghetti? Come in there with a broom and sweep up all the memories of what you just did. It seems like your body knows what to do with this shit. It obviously makes it. We know it makes it. We know that. But now we know this shit. It obviously makes it. We know it makes it. We know that.
Starting point is 00:31:45 But now we know that literally the third eye makes it. And that's fucking crazy. Because that's literally, I hate when I say literally because I shouldn't have said it that many times. That was my version of uh. It's literally uh. I should have said uh. Anyway, they've proven that, at least in rodents, this sacred of all sacred glands, this gland that the Egyptians thought was the seat of the soul, this gland that Eastern mysticism had forever connected with an eye of enlightenment, that that gland produces the most potent psychedelic drug known to man.
Starting point is 00:32:27 That's fucking bananas Pretty wild it's nuts It's so many cross cultures to that You know have have some kind of belief in that center of your you know in that center of your forehead where your pineal gland is It's pretty it's pretty unique and you know the shamans down there interesting thing You know and I was reading Daniele Bilelli's book about creating your own religion and the distinctions between religion and, you know, what we all both feel is like true spirituality. And some of it is, you know, it's not people telling you that. It's, you know, feeling it. It's feeling that kind of activation or feeling what that feels like. And there's been times when I've been taking ayahuasca where my most intense experiences come with a really intense buzzing energy that feels like not only
Starting point is 00:33:12 that part of my head, but starting there, the energy feels like it peels off my whole scalp, starting in my third eye, middle of my forehead region, all the way to the back of my head, what they would call the crown chakra. And I don't know too much about chakras but i know that that's what i felt from right here to the back of my head it was like somebody peeled it off and it had an electric field an electric current over it and when you get that feeling you know you're in for some fucking cool shit that's when the cool shit happened like that is the precursor to the craziest experiences of your spiritual life. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:49 It's a language that you can only speak with people who have had some form of experience, something. Because there's a lot of people out there. And there's nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with going through. I don't think there's anything wrong with going through your whole life. As long as you're enjoying it, why have a psychedelic experience? If you don't want to. If you don't feel compelled.
Starting point is 00:34:08 I feel like if you feel compelled, give it a shot. But when you're having these conversations and you're talking about your chakra blowing open and porting yourself to dimensions. It's crazy. Flotillas of serpents flying above your head. I hear you. And I'm like, yeah, wow. Okay. Wow, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, then you're doing something really infantile. You're taking something that's allowing you to go into fantasy land for a little while. Maybe. Or, listen, what if I could prove that it takes you to another dimension?
Starting point is 00:34:56 And in that other dimension, you will see things that you could not possibly have imagined. that you could not possibly have imagined. And you will experience novelty and honesty and wisdom and love in the purest forms possible. Like they're waves hitting you while you're standing on the beach. If I could tell you that it was definitely taking you to another dimension, would you go then? I don't know. Maybe not.
Starting point is 00:35:29 But here's what I know. Here's what I know for sure. If it took you to another dimension and you had that experience, or if you just had that experience in your head, you still had that experience. And it might as well have taken you to another dimension. It might as well. Because the same thing happened. You saw the same shit. You felt the same things.
Starting point is 00:35:51 You experienced the same things. You saw it all. It might not have been real, but it might have been real too. It doesn't matter. You still experienced it exactly the same way. As if it did take you to another planet. And you did ride around the rings of Saturn in your underwear.
Starting point is 00:36:07 I mean, it really does take you to that place. Yeah. So it might be real. It might take you to that place or it might be all happening in your mind. But either way, you experience the exact same thing. And it lasts. And the results there, you know,
Starting point is 00:36:20 that you get from it are actually, and that was one of the cool things about going to the MAPS conference, which is the Multidisciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies. They put on a conference in Oakland and they had all of the top scientists from all these different fields of research come and present their findings. So there's been over 80 patients clinically dosed with psilocybin, most of them in palliative care, easing the anxiety of death towards the end of life. Amazing dramatic stories. You have psychiatrists in there who've been working in this field for 40 years, seeing
Starting point is 00:36:51 people, and they're the ones running these programs. And well, first of all, the funny part is it's a double blind trial, right? So on one case, someone is getting placebo, which is doing nothing. And another case, they're getting a heroic dose of psilocybin. And the research is like, one of the problems with the study design is we pretty much know, because they're not supposed to know it's double blind. We pretty much know when someone's taken a bunch of psilocybin. It's not hard to tell when that's actually happened. But they're saying that what they're accomplishing in three hours would have taken them three years to do back in the old paradigm.
Starting point is 00:37:27 And they're reporting these findings, and it's really encouraging. Obviously, the Johns Hopkins study was a great study. Ninety-four percent of people who took the psilocybin said it was one of the top five most meaningful experiences of their life. I mean, really cool findings that are leading to a potential legalization of psilocybin for you know clinical use and it shouldn't be just for clinical use this is what's really fucked up all these people that are having all these thoughts and all these positive experiences like that that this is discounted by our government. It shows that we're being run by a bunch of infants. Like, they should be experiencing it too.
Starting point is 00:38:10 You should also do mushrooms as well, sir. It should be a prerequisite for political office, for sure. It's such a silly little thing. It grows in cow shit. It looks ridiculous. It sounds ridiculous. It appears in fucking Mario Brothers Donkey Kong and shit. It looks ridiculous. It sounds ridiculous. It appears in fucking Mario Brothers, Donkey Kong and shit.
Starting point is 00:38:27 But it might be the thing that humanity really could count on right now. It might be the thing if you could like ensure across the board experiences, ensure them worldwide over a week's period of time, you'd change the world forever. And that's
Starting point is 00:38:43 real. You really would. One gigantic world trip where, like, 30% of the population of the planet does mushrooms one day. You want to talk about a strange world you would wake up to Monday morning? Fuck, yeah. People would be hugging people in the streets and shit. This is a thought I've had recently. What if all of the churches,
Starting point is 00:39:04 instead of just bickering about their own dogmas and all this stuff, I mean, they're all trying to get at the same spirit. What if they were all churches of experience? And across the ward, there was one basic church that you go to. And that church was a little bit of everything. In that church, there was Zen meditation in one area. There was float tanks in another area. There was lectures from people like Graham Hancock coming through there. There was yoga in one area. There was float tanks in another area. There was lectures from people like Graham Hancock coming through there. There was yoga in one spot. And then there was different ceremonial areas where you could smoke peyote and do, you know, do a dance out in a, out in a sweat lodge. Or you could take mushrooms in a clinical, you know, like a really relaxed, you know,
Starting point is 00:39:42 encouraging setting. Or you could do an ayahuasca ceremony with the local ayahuasca maestro. And all of that was available to you. So you look, maybe you didn't go every week or every Sunday, but when you needed to check in, there was your local church. And you could just kind of talk to some people, either listen, maybe do some light yoga, or let's say you really needed to move yourself and then go in and pop into an ayahuasca ceremony. Or let's say you really needed to move yourself and then go in and pop into an ayahuasca ceremony. Or let's say you were feeling, you know, you got addicted to something accidentally. Oh, well, you could pop into the aboga treatment ceremony that lasted from Sunday through Tuesday.
Starting point is 00:40:16 If there were real clinics like that that were run by people who really knew what they were doing, they could change the whole world. The whole thing. The whole paradigm shifts at that point, I think. And it's there. It's like a real thing. That's what's crazy. It's not like something from a Dr. Seuss book that rhymes with morph.
Starting point is 00:40:32 You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. They took the morph on top of the orf and traveled to a fallen land. But I am really encouraged by what Maps is doing because they're playing by the rules. And you think that you get nowhere playing by the rules, but in some encouraging results, both for MDMA, for PTSD, and these psilocybin studies, they're getting allowed to do the research to complete these phase one trials and actually test them on human subjects for the first time in a long time. And that's going to lead to, you know, bigger trials in the phase two trials than the phase three. And eventually, there's going to get drug approvals for these.
Starting point is 00:41:12 Now, why that is significant is at that point, you have a massive amount of data. You have side effects studied. You have clinical use study. And if you can prove that there is an actual benefit to something, you know, it really weakens the argument for criminalization. And then of course, there's going to be a lot of off-label uses, doctors who are like, look, this is really helpful. You know, just kind of like what's happened with medical marijuana a little bit. It's been medically legal, but pretty much that is a gateway to legalization. But they're following the steps along the path that could
Starting point is 00:41:46 potentially allow this to be legal. There's that path, and then there's the religious freedom path. And I think those are really the only two paths that are going to lead to fruitful and effective policy change. Religious freedom is a funny thing. It's just, I always feel like whenever someone gets together in a big giant group and there's a few people running it, shit goes bad. It seems very rare that anybody can keep it together. I've been listening to Dan Carlin's Hardcore History about Martin Luther and the rise of the Anabaptists in Münster, Germany. Whenever some new dude comes along and tries to change things and we're going to do it the right way, this is how God wanted it,
Starting point is 00:42:30 it always goes bad. It always goes bad. Somebody gets in trouble and then they start just... Because they realize they can fuck all the teenage girls in their congregations. And suddenly God tells them that that's what they need to do. And this guy died. He had 16 wives.
Starting point is 00:42:42 Exactly. It's amazing. It's always the same thing. And they just chopped him apart with swords and died. He had 16 wives. Exactly. It's amazing. It's always the same thing. And they just chopped him apart with swords and shit and eventually got ahold of him. You know what? The other thing I've been kind of thinking about is too, is, you know, you assume that like some of these ayahuasca shamans, aboga shamans, different people, you would assume that by doing those psychedelic drugs, they would have straightened themselves out. They would have straightened their morality out and they'd be all good people. But that's certainly not the case.
Starting point is 00:43:07 You know, they, there are a lot of examples of these people who are doing the medicine itself and are still completely morally corrupt individuals. And I was, that's so weird. Yeah, it is weird. But, you know, I think ultimately the power of the mind, you know, if you put your mind to it can supersede, you know, the potential of the medicine itself. So if you decide to override it and just use the feeling, it's almost like taking, you know, mushrooms recreationally to watch a cartoon. You can kind of override the potential spiritual value of it and just focus on laughter and seeing colors explode on a screen in the same way that you can do it with morality where you can take a bunch of ayahuasca and then use that override it still
Starting point is 00:43:52 with your mind and just use it to you know practice whatever kind of power mechanism you want so you got to make sure you get you know just because they do a bunch of ayahuasca or boga or whatever doesn't mean they're good. You've got to find the people who are on that true path, the path of light. So you think what happens is probably these people grow up in this horrible area, third world country, really impoverished, and they probably find out about ayahuasca as a way to make money because there's an ayahuasca tourist trade.
Starting point is 00:44:23 Maybe when you just reach a certain amount of fucked up, there's no pulling you back to civilization. You know, maybe the way the human body is programmed to survive in horrible, destitute situations, really disgusting, violent situations. The human body is sort of designed to be able to function in those environments. It knows how to change and get wacky and crazy. It knows how to deal with war. It adapts.
Starting point is 00:44:49 It adapts, and that becomes the new reality. That becomes every day-to-day living now. And it just seems like when you go just a certain distance down the cunt hole, you know, it's like there's no pulling you back. That's true. Or perhaps in other cases, I think it's happened. You know, a lot of these traditions are taught grandfather to grandson. And I think the grandchildren start off, you know, on a pretty good path. But then they get a taste of power.
Starting point is 00:45:13 Then they realize everybody in their area, if it's a tribe or if in their community, looks up to them. And they have absolute power over these people. And you put that amount, that mantle of power on people and you'll see cracks develop. You know, you see it all over the place. People who were once good getting in power and exposing these inner demons, these inner weaknesses that they have. And they choose instead of overcoming those, they choose to just go with it. I bet a lot of their downfall is chicks from America with yoga pants come down there and I'm just trying to get spiritually clean. I'm just trying to open up my chakras,
Starting point is 00:45:49 and she's big, juicy ass in yoga pants. And she's in love with this dude because he makes the magic brew, and he knows how to call the dragon. Dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum. And she's in fucking see-through yoga pants. Do you know they just fix those see-through yoga pants? What took so long to fix them? They should give them all out.
Starting point is 00:46:08 That's the only fair thing to do. They should have shut the fuck up is what they should have done. You knew what you were doing, you dirty freaks. What girl doesn't put those on and get in front of a mirror? Oh my God, you can see everything. I can't wear these. Oh my God, you can see everything.
Starting point is 00:46:24 Should I wear these? Would you think I see everything should i wear these if you would you think i was a whore if i wore these oh my god you can see it can you see everything can you am i being picky they they talk themselves out of it they know that their box is just hanging out there and a lot of these dirty freaks would go to yoga class with nothing on just these yoga tights. And literally you could read their lips. Literally, I said literally five times after I said I hate that I said it. Literally you did. Fuck, cunt.
Starting point is 00:46:54 Cunt, fuck. Yeah, the only thing that this company should do is just hand them out for free. They should just shut the fuck up. They should just go radio silent and keep selling them. Keep selling them and go radio silent. And they go, are these yoga pants still see-through? Just go, huh?
Starting point is 00:47:11 Huh? Huh? Huh? It looks great on you. Those look good for you. Go to the dressing rooms over there if you want to get changed. Or if they get sweaty, you can see through them. Just have a nice, bright dressing room so none of those freaks can try foul.
Starting point is 00:47:24 Just let them look at your box in the mirror. What's wrong with that? What's a little showing off a little box? How's that going to hurt anybody? It'd be good for everybody. That's what I'm saying. Except shamans. They ain't used to those American yoga freaks.
Starting point is 00:47:37 They're used to a bunch of barefoot fisherman women. Yeah. You know what I mean? Too much to bear. Yeah. Milky white skin and a big, juicy booty and stretching out in the jungle floor. You know what I mean? Too much to bear. Yeah, milky white skin and a big juicy booty and stretching out in the jungle floor. You should get yoga pants.
Starting point is 00:47:49 Maybe we can buy all the ones from Lululemon. Or maybe invest in hypercolor. I mean, I bet that's pretty cheap nowadays. Put out alpha tights for guys to show their cocks. This would be the new alpha thing. Alpha tights. Everybody was like, why do I have to wear underwear be the new alpha thing. Alpha tights. Everybody was like, why do I have to wear underwear?
Starting point is 00:48:08 I'm just going to wear tights. And dudes would just wear tights everywhere. But there's see-through tights where you could just really show your cock. And that becomes a new thing. Look, I would believe that that would be the new thing before I would ever believe that there'd be dudes willing to pull their pants down
Starting point is 00:48:21 to their balls and then belt them in place there and have your underwear hang out. This would be like a super common practice. And I'd be walking on the street and I'd see 5, 10, 20 young men with their fucking pants pulled down below the crack of their ass.
Starting point is 00:48:35 And I'm like, what are you doing? Do you know how stupid this is? So I wouldn't believe that that would be possible, and it is. So I believe that the cock tights would be possible and it is so I believe that the cock tights would be the shit was it from you
Starting point is 00:48:48 that we were talking about that that was part of prison culture it is they don't have belts you can't have belts because you can choke someone to death with it
Starting point is 00:48:55 you can kill yourself and so they would sag their pants for easy access for their daddies to just bend them over and fork them I think it's
Starting point is 00:49:02 well the booty master what was that guy's name? The one guy, the booty bandit, who was in that Locked Up show. You ever seen that show? No. You've never seen that? Brian, please pull that up since we have this amazing internet connection now. The booty bandit from Locked Up,
Starting point is 00:49:18 or they also call him the most terrifying man on earth or something like that. But he was all talking about dudes that are sagging. And he goes, to me, that's sexy. He's like, that's sexy. You sag in front of me. Yeah. You find that? This guy's
Starting point is 00:49:37 fucking terrifying. The booty warrior. The booty warrior. That's what he calls himself. very different kind of homosexuality right yeah he does but we have sexual desires right so you got a bunch of men locked up in one place all of them get hard all of them's horny all of them got sexual desires, so what are they going to do? We won't let them have a woman. They're going to have each other. Somebody's going to have to give us a movie.
Starting point is 00:50:09 And it's just that simple. The most memorable story that the police told us. Look, that guy looks like the type of guy that he would lock in his cell and just fuck to death. Why don't they just send like returns, like flashlights returns, you know, or the refurbished ones, just send them to prison. I think Flashlight did talk to the penal system. Booty. They weren't down with it. More important than food.
Starting point is 00:50:33 Booty was more important than food. A man's butt. No, no. He had the first half correct and the second half terribly wrong. It was more booty, having some booty, was more important than drinking water. Wow. I like booty. Oh, my goodness.
Starting point is 00:50:56 That's enough. I've heard enough. The booty warrior. I was listening to my buddy Donald Schultz, who was out actually, and they were chasing down rhino poachers, which was a pretty crazy experience because they're going after these rhino poachers that are killing these rhinos, just cutting off the horns, selling them to China to make Chinese people's dicks bigger, supposedly, which is crazy. Is that really all it is? That's what they use it for?
Starting point is 00:51:20 Yeah, that's the main thing they use it for is they grind it up and put it in dick pills in China. And it's really the same thing that's in your fingernails. Like it has no... It's collagen? Yeah. It has no actual properties that are doing anything
Starting point is 00:51:31 but there's, oh, big horn, big dick. And I don't know if I apologize about my bad accent. Whoa, how dare you? I see what you did there.
Starting point is 00:51:37 If you didn't apologize you would have been fine. The problem is you didn't own it. But the, but whatever, that paradigm there is one of the reasons for these rhinos getting killed. So he goes out there.
Starting point is 00:51:48 That's crazy. They end up shooting this footage. And then as they're coming up on these poachers, they get shot at. Wah, wah, wah. This is all on video. If you look up Donald Schultz rhino, I don't know where you can find it. But they get shot at by these poachers. And then you see him duck down like, oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:52:03 And they're filming this. And then his people pop up. He's from South Africa. His people pop up with AKs and just lay waste to where the poachers are. Whap, whap, whap, whap. And the poachers have high-powered rifles. These guys have assault rifles. Right.
Starting point is 00:52:18 But they shot first at them. And it's a shoot-to-kill policy, apparently. But then they roll up on the poachers. One of them's dead. One of them's wounded. It's this crazy kind of scenario right but the poachers are in leagues with the actual police in the area it's all they're paying them off it's all part of the money system so as they were leaving they get stopped by the police and they're looking for footage of you know kind of
Starting point is 00:52:38 what went down and they hid the footage and i think some parachute bags or something like that and police are giving them hell. And they just go, you know, we're going to throw you in jail, and you're going to come out different. And what they meant by that was that there's something called slow puncture, where they put you in a cell with another dude with HIV, and then he rapes you. And then they let you go after he rapes you enough times. And then you go home, and you die of AIDS at home. And they call it slow puncture for people that they can't actually press charges on.
Starting point is 00:53:10 Whoa. But they want to fuck you for life. And so they were threatening them with that. But they held the bluff firm, got the tapes out, and have been trying to raise awareness to save the rhinos. But it's a fucking crazy scenario. That's scary. Scary. Slow puncture. Get caught in an African prison, son.
Starting point is 00:53:29 Don't do it. Don't do it. How fucking terrifying would that be? And if you do, if you're about to get raped, just fight for your goddamn life. That's it. I mean, there's no point where you tap. You're going to war to the death the first day, and you're probably going to die.
Starting point is 00:53:44 You may die. Most likely. Most likely. You go into war to the death the first day. That's it. And you're probably going to die. You may die. Most likely. Most likely. But go out on your shield, son. Go out on your shield, son. Or don't go to Africa. That's another one. Imagine if Africa was the only place left.
Starting point is 00:53:57 Imagine if there was some crazy fucking catastrophe. Most of the world got wiped out except the continent Africa. And we all hopped over there in boats from all over the world and battled it out for a chunk of the world got wiped out except the continent, Africa. And we all hopped over there in boats from all over the world and battled it out for a chunk of the Congo. Carve your stake in Africa. The rest of the world is just a waste, just a giant wasteland, a small population. Well, Africa is beautiful. It's just all the people and influences and all the bullshit,
Starting point is 00:54:21 all the corruption that's fucked it up. There's a lot that's fucked it up. Pretty place. And it's so fucked up in so's a lot that's fucked it up. Pretty place. And it's so fucked up in so many ways. It's like, how do you bring Somalia back? Very true. How do you bring Liberia back? How do you snap those back to the standards of European cities like London?
Starting point is 00:54:39 I don't know. I mean, the corruption is so deep-seated. There's that problem, and then there's the kind of Middle East fundamentalist problem. Sure. It's also like nobody has any desire to go and use resources to help these poor people out. These people who live in Liberia or live in Somalia or live in any of the really poor sections of Africa, they got a really shit roll of the dice location-wise. They were born in an incredibly impoverished place.
Starting point is 00:55:06 location wise they they they were born in an incredibly impoverished place and it's like there's got to be something that the rest of the world like gotta like be honest about where these people are the rest of the world's like well you know they can pull them some stuff by their bootstraps just like we did over here in munich but no like the infrastructure of some spots is like so much better to get born in those spots. I mean, I saw when I was there in the slums, you know, you would see these shanties, these little shacks of basically sheet metal. And that's it, sheet metal. And they kind of put it towards the ground just to keep a little sun off their head and a little bit of shade in the day. But they'd be on hills, right?
Starting point is 00:55:41 And there's no septic system. So they'd be on hills. But they'd be on hills, right? And there's no septic system. So they'd be on hills. So the people at the top of the hill would just be going to the bathroom in their huts. And the sewage would just slide through all of the rest of the places down underneath that. And disease was everywhere, you see.
Starting point is 00:55:58 And it's a really intense, intense scenario. And generally a very good people. But one of the things, and very cool people there that you meet. very good people but one of the things and very cool people there that you meet but one of the problems is is that there's so the best way to get ahead in africa right now the way to get the most money is not start a business be an entrepreneur create something it's to get a grant so you have some of the like the brightest smartest africans instead of like trying to create businesses and of course some of them do but i noticed a lot of really the smartest people I meet were coming, trying to write grants and just trying to get money instead of focusing on starting a business, building something from the grassroots.
Starting point is 00:56:34 So it's almost like some of the help that we're providing is not really helping long term. It's just they're gaming it. They're figuring out the game and trying to get the money that way. Well, that is a fascinating aspect about Africa is that that's the Nigerian scammers. I mean, they're so famous. The Nigerian scammers. Everybody has heard about Nigerian scams. There's been so many of them.
Starting point is 00:56:57 And so many of them where the dudes just get so duped. It's always like a guy and they pretend that they're a girl. I can't get the gold out. Yeah, I can't get the gold. Dear sir. You know how easy it is to get gold anywhere? Everybody will buy gold. So if anybody comes to you and says, hey, I just can't sell this gold, man. They're
Starting point is 00:57:16 full of shit. And the other one is they like to do the inheritance one. You have to pay some legal fees. Just a few grand in legal fees and the money's coming, bro. It's gonna be the craziest thing you've ever seen. You never run out some legal fees. Just a few grand in legal fees, and the money's coming, bro. It's going to be the craziest thing you've ever seen. You never run out of money forever. Start buying a house.
Starting point is 00:57:31 You don't even need a down payment. Just tell them about this, and you'll just take money in the bank. Nigerian scammers, I guess. They just got super desperado, a bunch of smart dudes, and then just hopped in and started figuring out how to scam white people. Or they're not even Nigerians, and somebody else just hopped on the fucking oh nigerian scams are working let's do it right like nobody knows shit about nigeria they took it to the next level they pretended to be nigerian right but they're really like from sweden or some shit go ahead i was just gonna
Starting point is 00:58:02 say speaking of uh sw Sweden or some shit, I was thinking of foreign countries where this guy can go that leaked the NSA documents. He's hiding. You know this whole story? Yeah, more than other WikiLeaks kind of? Yeah, exactly. It's the one that showed us that the NSA has been following
Starting point is 00:58:22 every phone call on Verizon. It's been collecting metadata about every transaction you've had, every interaction that you've had. What do you think the ultimate endgame is for that? I guess it's if anybody is a problem, they can just go back to the records and fuck you up, right? Is that the idea? Because they're not going to be able to pour through that data
Starting point is 00:58:41 and just pick on people because someone said, oh, yeah, I'm going to smoke some weed or whatever. I mean, I really don't think that's the plan. I think it's just they have it just in case they need to knock you down. I think, yeah, that's the idea. It's not that they want to invade your privacy, but that if you turn out to be a creep, they want it to be really easy to be able to pull out any data on you. The problem is that's like so Orwellian. And you're giving people this
Starting point is 00:59:05 incredible power to peer into people's privacy. And you know, what do we lose in return for that? Well, we really, really, we lose all privacy because all privacy, when you're interacting with,
Starting point is 00:59:16 unless you're talking in a, in a closed room. And even then, like if you go into like foreign places, like that, that are like working on secret shit, like, you know,
Starting point is 00:59:24 embassies and stuff, they won't like working on secret shit like you know embassies and stuff they won't let you bring iphones do you know why because you can't take a battery out of an iphone and amber lion taught us that like she's gone in like when she was working for cnn she'd do these like big time interviews and she would have to get an android phone so they could take the battery out because they want don't want anybody otherwise they can have that thing working remotely and they can spy on you i mean all that all that technology is available. They could just set your phone off while you're hanging it out in your office, planning your dastardly attack on Gotham City, you know, with your fucking superhero friends or whatever, and they can record it all. You know, that would be less
Starting point is 01:00:00 scary if every law in the US was perfectly just. just right you know there's only just laws you're allowed to experiment with your own consciousness you know whatever all of these other financial system has to be cleaned up first but imagine that i mean all the shit that we're worried about what are what are we worried about we're worried about smoking weed i guess someone could fuck you up maybe if you have if you're being unfaithful to your girlfriend, but you shouldn't be doing that shit anyways. But that's something that still is nobody's business. But if at least the laws were just, then it wouldn't be such a pain in the ass. But because we have all these unjust laws where we can be thrown in jail for an indefinite period of time, it becomes scary for everybody.
Starting point is 01:00:41 Those two things you brought up, too, should have absolutely nothing to do with the law. Infidelity or marijuana. There's nothing to do with the law. Infidelity or marijuana or whether – there's nothing to do with the law. Law should be all about protecting people. That's it. It should be protecting people from violence, protecting people from theft, protecting people from injustice, and ensuring a harmonious community. And that's really what it should be all about. If that's what all the laws were, you'd be pumped to see the cops. You'd be like, oh, sweet, the cops are here.
Starting point is 01:01:08 Awesome. They're going to keep everything safe. Instead of being like, motherfucker, stop creeping. I've been really, like I said, listening to this Dan Carlin podcast. I've listened to dozens of them over the last couple of weeks. It's amazing how good we have it
Starting point is 01:01:24 today, just compared to the 1500s like the way the people were living just 500 plus years ago is just it's total insanity total insanity we would we would be in hell if we're forced to be back there it was such a short period of time ago it's like we without a doubt there's a lot of room for improvement in this society, in this culture. But we're seeing an awareness right in front of our eyes that I'm not even sure if we've totally understood the impact of it yet. Because what you're seeing with this NSA leak thing and WikiLeaks, you're seeing this forced response in this grand global way. They have to respond to these things in a global way. Like, the whole UK is... They're writing articles about it,
Starting point is 01:02:10 and newspapers are writing articles about it. Hong Kong, the fact that this guy was on the run, the FBI's looking for him. This is a worldwide publicity disaster for the NSA. And it's been created by one person who took a stand. And now they're going after that person as if he's some sort of a terrorist. One person that showed that, hey, you guys are kind of violating the constitution. Like what's going on here? Do we have a constitution anymore? Oh no, this NDAA thing that you fucks passed, that sort of bypassed the constitution.
Starting point is 01:02:42 So now all this illegal shit, or that used to be illegal, you made it legal, so you think you're doing an okay job. Is that what's going on here? This is clearly bad governing. It's clearly. And I think that transparency is being exhibited in this reaction to this NSA whistleblower thing, where people, like the president's having to defend it now. And one of the things he was saying saying I was just talking about this to
Starting point is 01:03:05 Duncan we were talking about how Obama was like, you know Well, this is something we should definitely have a debate about we can I'm definitely open to talking about this Well, really well, why was it a secret then? Yeah, why did somebody have to leak this? Why didn't you discuss this with people and explain the pros and cons of losing this much secrecy, of losing this much privacy. That's ridiculous. There's not that many threats to this world. I don't buy it.
Starting point is 01:03:33 I think they're doing a great job in shutting down threats. If you stop and look at how many threats have turned into actual terror attacks, besides the Boston one and besides a couple other ones, there's very few, very few. When you compare them to actual days of the week, you compare them to actual human interactions that take place throughout 50 states and numerous cities all throughout the day, all over the time, there's very few like those shitheads from Boston. There's very few like, you know, whether it's a 9-11 that happened in 2001
Starting point is 01:04:04 because they can squash most of them without reading every fucking email you send. They shouldn't be able to read everybody's shit. That's ridiculous. You know, I think if you could prove that you were just and that you were looking out for the best interest of man, maybe you should be able to go and look into this stuff without a warrant. But because it's been proven, the IRS goes after conservative Tea Party groups much more than they go after liberal people. They just got busted for doing that, chasing down these Tea Party fucks and making their life hell, harassing them,
Starting point is 01:04:40 making their experience with paying their just taxes much more difficult. Well, the beauty is, is that the age of information, the internet is allowing all of these people to band together and make a force on their own. Because back in the day, imagine if you had to gather a large group of people, you know, you couldn't do it. You have to put out an ad, and then you'd have to get that ad approved by whatever newspaper you were going to do. I mean, or find a reputable news outlet that you could go tell your story to. But now with the Internet, these things can spread, and these things can gather, and people can communicate. And that's a force that I don't think the powers that be are fully comprehending and are ready to reckon with.
Starting point is 01:05:23 Dianne Feinstein was explaining that we needed to do these things because we need to stop terrorism. And when she was saying this, I was imagining that this person gets to speak for me. I was imagining the ridiculousness of this person getting to speak for me, this silly person, who if there was a couple of us and she started talking, we'd be like, okay, yeah, stop talking.
Starting point is 01:05:45 You're talking nonsense. Like you're talking nonsense. If she was just around us right now and she was explaining why that would be important, she would look like a buffoon within a couple of minutes time. She would be stammering. It would be a disaster. There's no argument there.
Starting point is 01:05:58 And there's not a single argument that you could point to where a competent society that cares about its citizens and it cares about the quality of life which includes respect for your privacy that that culture would allow these ass fucks to just download every email you send duncan had a great way of describing it today he said could you imagine if the government in the 1960s said hey everybody that sends a letter through the mail we're going to take it and Xerox it, and then we're not going to read it, but we're going to have it,
Starting point is 01:06:29 and then we're going to send it back to you. And we're going to just keep all your letters in a storage facility in Utah. You'd be like, get the fuck out of here. You don't get to read my letters. Why do you need to read? Because when a person calls themselves a cop, or the CIA, or the FBI,
Starting point is 01:06:43 they put themselves into some sort of a group, now all of a sudden they believe they have power that a regular person doesn't have. Because if there's only two people on the planet, you and Mr. FBI guy, and Mr. FBI guy's like, I believe you might be plotting terrorism, so I'm going to read your emails.
Starting point is 01:06:57 You're like, emails to who, you fuck? It's just you and me. No, you can't read my email. Get out of here. Go fuck yourself. You're just a person. But when you're in a group, and you're the NSA or the CIA or the FBI or any fucking other three letters you want to string together, all of a sudden you have the power to go and do really rude shit to people.
Starting point is 01:07:17 And that's the problem with big groups. And rude by throwing them in jail indefinitely. I mean, beyond rude. I mean, it's rude when your girlfriend reads your phone texts, even if you haven't done anything wrong. It's just rude. It's rude when people dig into people's phones. I mean, I write in journals and things like that. And one of the most sacred things to me is that nobody picks those motherfuckers up.
Starting point is 01:07:46 sacred things to me is that nobody picks those motherfuckers up because if somebody goes in and reads that journal that means that every time i'm writing my innermost thoughts there's going to be a little censor voice up there saying oh well what if somebody reads this shit i better not write this exactly how it is and as soon as that censor voice comes on the whole the whole practice of writing in the journal is fuck that's why you should always write in a journal after you beat off. That way you're most honest. You already know you're a piece of shit. Just spell it out.
Starting point is 01:08:13 I recently got out of a situation where somebody did that, you know, where somebody went in my phone and screenshotted every single text I have, every single photo, everything, and sent it to themselves. And that now questions me when I talk to anybody, because even if it's something legit, I don't even want to type
Starting point is 01:08:30 it down anymore because of that. I mean, there's like that program that's popular right now, Snapchat, you know, where you send a photo and then it expires in three seconds of your balls and stuff. People found out a way to hack that now, so you can go in there and take all those photos and all those videos that are supposed to be, you know, gone forever. Well, all you have to do, they're so silly, all you have to do is have two you can go in there and take all those photos and all those videos that are supposed to be gone forever.
Starting point is 01:08:45 Well, all you have to do, they're so silly, all you have to do is have two phones. Right. And you take a photo of the photo and that way you don't even
Starting point is 01:08:51 have to get a screenshot and you have the photo. You just fucked up the game. There was so many. It's a weak game. That weak game is weak. There was so many vagina shots that you just censored.
Starting point is 01:08:58 No, these motherfuckers are playing tic-tac-toe. Listen, there's no girls with workable vaginas that were going to send good pictures anyway. The game's terrible. It's a terrible game.
Starting point is 01:09:10 But that is scary, though. If you think about it, because texting is so popular nowadays, you don't realize what you're typing to people. You're typing secrets that only you and that person are supposed to know. And then six months later, you lose your phone. Or you lose your phone and you're like, oh, look at this guy. What he's talking about. Oh, look at this. You don't think of shit
Starting point is 01:09:31 like that. You should make your journal. You should write it in a very specific... Do you have those scholastic white and black book covers? That weird pattern that they had, and it was a hard cover.
Starting point is 01:09:47 Like TV that was sperm everywhere. Well, you should only write in those, right? And write my journal. And then make up a dummy one with one of those ink bombs like they have for bags that they give away during bank robberies. And once you open some of your shit, blammy! Purple shit all over your face.
Starting point is 01:10:04 Yeah, yeah. Green with envy and rotten desire. Just you fucking green fuckhead all over. I like it. Dirty green, like a rotten, stinky green. Or not. Or don't write ridiculous shit down on paper and leave it around your house. If I was staying over your house, I'd probably fucking read it.
Starting point is 01:10:23 If I went to use your bathroom and I took a leak and I was like, what is this motherfucker writing? And I'm on the shitter reading it and you're like, why are you still in there, man? Oh, dude, I'm constipated.
Starting point is 01:10:33 And then you realize that your book is in there and I'm reading your book, most likely. Yeah, don't leave your journal on the shitter. Yeah, but... I ain't gonna cut it.
Starting point is 01:10:42 I only have books in the shitter if I'm not taking my kale shakes because if I'm on a regular kale shake program the way I describe it is like a tunnel and then those zombies from World War Z
Starting point is 01:10:57 are running down the tunnel just all stacking on top of each other that's what the kale shake is it just fills up your entire pipe Down the tunnel, just all stacking on top of each other. That's what the kale shake is. It just fills up your entire pipe with a thick, green, gooey substance. Because I down about 30 ounces. And then those motherfuckers just push everything out.
Starting point is 01:11:17 And it's a wild ride. Yeah, man. You know what, dude? I told you someone on the message board actually found out how much of that shit is in kale as opposed to other things. Celery has more than kale. Yeah, well, the doctor said that. The doctor said that
Starting point is 01:11:30 while he was here. I don't know. I feel good when I... The doctor? Not the doctor. Dave Asprey? Dave Asprey. I didn't mean Dave.
Starting point is 01:11:36 How dare you? But he said that on the podcast, but it still has a lot in it. No, I don't think he said that. I think he said celery had less, actually. He was... Whoever corrected him online, apparently they corrected him.
Starting point is 01:11:48 What he said was incorrect. It was just a misdate, whatever he said. But the way to combat that, apparently, that's effective is calcium. And adding calcium to your kale shake is supposed to offset the effects of any of that acid. Take your nightly TPC. It's got it in there. But what I was going to say is people discount how, you know, the feedback that you're getting from your body yourself. You know, like you feel good when you have a kale shake, right?
Starting point is 01:12:11 You can feel it. Like if there was something poisonous in that, I really trust that the body would be like, yo, you know, don't drink this. It's pussy feels good. Regular pussy. No, it doesn't. It's supposed to be really warm. But, you know, I mean, people't it's supposed to be really warm yeah but you know i mean people it's the same i mean you can apply that same if you really kind of pay attention to those signals
Starting point is 01:12:29 coming back you can learn a lot yeah and that's you know with this you know the earth-grown nutrients thing that mike dolce is always preaching about you can tell the difference and then you get these weird kind of ideas i mean i like a lot of the asprey principles about high fat but if you take some of that stuff too literally and start hammering like lots of butter, and you just don't feel that great all the time, you know? But if you're following a more kind of common sense and just listening to the feedback from your body, I tend to trust that more, just kind of feeling what feels good. Yeah, but it's also good to have some real science and knowledge behind it too, which I think Asprey, you know, he takes a lot of heat, but he knows a lot of shit. He does. He's a wealth of knowledge.
Starting point is 01:13:09 And he's not a professional. So if he gets something wrong occasionally, you've got to realize that guy also runs, like, an IT company. People are always, like, accusing him of trying to hawk his items, which he definitely is, like, over-bulletproofing everything. I asked him if he had a bulletproof wife, if this goes home to his bulletproof marriage and his bulletproof sex. He's just starting a business.
Starting point is 01:13:31 He's got great ideas, though. He's got great ideas. But the point is, that guy had free shit up on his website for a long time. There's still a ton of free information, really in detail, excellent stuff that he's pulled down. He has references. He tells you where he read it. He tells you what it's about. He tells you what the benefits of these certain things are. It's really good stuff. And I know that his thing is trying,
Starting point is 01:13:57 he's on a quest to try to figure out the ultimate combination of foods and exercises and treatments for to rehabilitate injuries. And he's right about a lot of shit. He gave me a great tip on that prolozone therapy for back issues. It's fucking tremendous. It's tremendous. He's got a lot of real wacky ideas. Bulletproof coffee is genius shit.
Starting point is 01:14:19 That's a genius invention. It's another one of those things where you can really feel it. Yeah, well, combining it with fats so that it's a slow release of caffeine, that's what coffee always needed. That's what coffee was missing all this time. That fucking jolt that you get when you're down, like, a 20-ounce Starbucks that's black. You get that weird shaky, like, oh, fuck. That real druggie feeling.
Starting point is 01:14:42 Too much, man. Yeah, but put some butter in there, put some coconut oil, some MCT, it changes the game. Yeah, just that slow release. It's wonderful. You know what else has really changed the game for me? And maybe I'll tell my whole hunting story, too, here if we want to get into it. But I went out on that hunt down in South Texas. And we got a lot of meat back from that hunt.
Starting point is 01:15:07 And every single time I have that meat as compared to some other meat, I mean, the way that I feel it digest, the way that I feel it absorb, it's completely different. Yeah, it's fantastic. It feels completely different. And even if you're buying some kind of grass-fed cow steak you know this wild game that we went out and procured ourselves i mean it's not only delicious i mean everything we've had has been pretty fucking good maybe one dud but most of the stuff we're making fajitas we're making stew we're making tacos we're making steaks we're making stir fries and all of this making me hungry it's been amazing but that was a really cool experience
Starting point is 01:15:46 and it may be something that we've i know we've talked about doing something like that for on it so so really how it could potentially work and and it's a challenging scenario so you know hopefully we're working just know that we're working on it guys and potentially make this possible because i think the health benefits are there and the whole process is really valuable because if you've gone your whole life and i know you've made this pitch. Because if you've gone your whole life, and I know you've made this pitch too, but if you've gone your whole life and all you do is show up to the grocery store, pick some cellophane-wrapped piece of meat that all you identify is as a steak, you really don't get it.
Starting point is 01:16:18 You really don't understand what you're doing. Even if you do, you don't. Yeah. You don't fully get it until you've been there inside the animal you know arms up to your you know arms covered in blood actually cutting those pieces of meat out of something you've killed that changes your reality you know then you have a full appreciation for what you're doing so so what we did out there in South Texas is there's these ranches. This one was 10,000 acres. And so there is a confined space. It is 10,000 acres. But these animals are procreating. They're just kind of loosely measuring the herds because they're mostly wild.
Starting point is 01:16:56 The problem with hunting most native game is there's very select seasons in which you're allowed to hunt them. So you have to really kind of stock up. If you're going to hunt whitetail, you better be in October and you better have booked some shit in advance or go somewhere that's very small seasons. So what these exotic ranches have done, if it's non-native game, you're allowed to basically take animals from the herd all throughout the year. So they've gotten species of animals from different parts of the world. And they're just, you know, that country's version of the deer. So there's fallow deer, which come from Europe. There's some black buck, which come, I think they're from Indonesia, tiger food. There's some axis deer, which also come from around that area. Black buck might be somewhere else. But then there's
Starting point is 01:17:38 oryx and attics and all these different kinds of antelope and deer that they get. And they're just living, they're living it up out in South Texas. The plants down there have roughly 30% protein. And even though they're sparse, they have pretty good adequate protein. And when there is kind of a drought, they do supplement it with a little extra food as well. But they're pretty much just living off the land and thriving and procreating. And so you're going down there and not only is it like a cool safari where you're seeing all these exotic creatures, you're actually able to go out and take your rifle and hop out on some sticks
Starting point is 01:18:12 or track them down in these kind of outdoor vehicles, which are like these commando style suburbans and go hunting for an animal that you're going to take then and butcher and have meat for. Man, I've been eating the same deer for like three months now. So it's a really fucking cool experience where you're out there in the land and these animals are, you know, ostensibly as wild as other animals. I mean, they're not sensitized to the truck. A few of the species are, they get kind of used to the truck
Starting point is 01:18:41 and that would be a little weird to shoot. But these black bucks, I mean, I was out there hunting for the entirety of the day and I, and I was really didn't think I was going to get one. You know, I was hoping to get one, but I kind of said, you know, all right, if, if today's not the right day to take an animal, so be it. So we're out cruising around and every animal that came within about 250 yards was just scattering. And I knew the ballistics on my gun. I wasn't going to comfortably take a shot that was over about, you know, 150 to 180, just because at that point, my particular ballistics on the bullet, the bullet was going to drop about four to six inches.
Starting point is 01:19:19 And I didn't really have to gauge that. So you'd have to gauge that. Do you have like one of those goggles that you look through and it gives you the number? No, I didn't have that. So it was all by, you know, we had a guide there, and he'd be like, yeah, it's about 190. Oh, take him out, son. It's about 190. Get her done.
Starting point is 01:19:33 Yeah. So anyway, so we finally, it's the very end of the day. I didn't think I was going to get anything. And we see this black buck doe at the very top of the hill about 260 yards away. And instead of scattering, I was like, oh, great like oh great she's gonna run away like everything else does instead of scattering away it ran like right towards the truck for 80 yards so it was like at 160 and this is like right when the sun was kind of starting to set definitely the last chance i had so i made like a quick makeshift brace saw it in the crosshairs, tried to steady my
Starting point is 01:20:06 heartbeat from pounding and try to keep the crosshairs from dancing all over the thing, seeing sky, seeing ground, and then focus in, take a deep breath. And then it just kind of turned just the right way. And I pulled the trigger, you know, the big blast. And then it was just full adrenaline from there. I saw it rear up in the air, fell to the ground. And I remember, you know, running up to it because I knew that if it was in pain, they say to kind of wait and see if it gets up. I wasn't really down with that. I wanted to make sure that if it was there, that I could, you know, ease its suffering as quickly as possible. So I just dropped the gun and went up there. I knew I hit it pretty
Starting point is 01:20:45 good and sprinted up. Why'd you drop the gun? It's just, it was heavy and clumsy. I had a knife on my, a knife. I had a knife on my, on my side. So you're going to do it knife style. You weren't going to use the gun? No. Well, cause the gun can spoil meat, right? If you miss with the gun, you could hit a shoulder, which is going to be 10 pounds of meat. You could miss and clip some back strap. You could, you know, really the cleanest way to do it, to preserve the meat, which is why you're doing it, so you can kill less animals, is with a knife. Dude, to be honest, you were excited about killing it with a knife. There's something about you right now that's creeping me out. I'm thinking of you going to stray caveman biting an ear while you saw in the
Starting point is 01:21:26 well i'll tell you i'll tell you all the emotions that went through really at that point so just leave out horning right that didn't that didn't cross the path so you know i mean so we ran i ran up there and you know obviously your heart's pounding and it's a really weird experience and i go up and i see it and it was was still alive, but it was probably bleeding out. It was definitely bleeding out. It caught a piece of the heart and a lot of lung. And it was definitely bleeding out. But I wanted to make sure that it didn't suffer.
Starting point is 01:21:52 But at the point that I got up there, the feeling wasn't any feeling of like, you know, it was nothing but just pure gratitude and appreciation for this animal. And I put my hand on its neck and pulled the knife out, which is, you know, actually a very special knife to me. It was one that my uncle gave to me before he passed away. And I, you know, put my hand on its neck and quieted myself and then put it into the heart. And I could feel the heart reverberating through the blade and the knife
Starting point is 01:22:25 into my hand. Whoa. And I pulled it out and just kept my hands on it. One hand on his chest and one hand on his neck and could kind of sense the life leave the body. And, you know, I said a little prayer kind of avatar style, um, wrote one up beforehand, you know, basically the idea is, um, you know, as your spirit goes back to the source to nourish new life, may your flesh, you know, nourish our bodies in this life. You know, thank you, sister. That's very Avatar-like. That's very Avatar-like.
Starting point is 01:22:53 If you said it next to me and I would never let you live it down, I'd be saying, thank you. Oh, sister. It's true. While we're eating it, I'd be laughing. For me. And our guide. You silly bitch.
Starting point is 01:23:04 And our guide would, would do the same thing. Most of the people down in South Texas'd be like, you silly bitch. And our guide would do the same thing. Most of the people down in South Texas. The guide did it too? No, they would say the same thing as you. I mean, this is for me what I needed to do. I thought you were saying they would say the same thing as you. No, no, no. Hippie Texas people.
Starting point is 01:23:16 Nobody would say the same thing as me. But for me, that's what I needed to say. I'm giving you a hard time, but the reality is that's a beautiful way of approaching it. I mean, it's just something easy to make fun of, and I'm a hack. It was right there. I couldn't let it go. But then, so I look at its eyes, its face, and its face was covered in these spines. And so I thought it hit a cactus.
Starting point is 01:23:36 And they were, like, all up in its eyeball and stuff like that. And then I smell the flick. I hear the flick of a lighter and a cigarette. And it's our, you know, country guy. He had, like, a Budweiser and a cigarette. I don't know. He's a South Texas guy. And he says, oh, porcupine spines.
Starting point is 01:23:50 You won't see that one time in a thousand. And so basically some porcupine had whacked it in the face. And the spines were working their way through its eyeball. So it was like kind of a cool feeling to know that at that point, you know, i had taken an animal out of its misery right so to speak to which was not necessarily my idea you know i was going to take an animal that presented it but that happened to be the one that presented itself but then the really weird thing happened i got really angry at the porcupine like my love for the animal my appreciation for the animal was so strong that i fucking hated that porcupine. Really?
Starting point is 01:24:26 Like, I felt like that was an enemy. Like, if someone slapped your sister. Yeah, no. The porcupine, all it did is poke it in the eye. You fucking stabbed it. But that's what's weird, right? Shot it and stabbed it. That's what's weird. You went straight Detroit on that fucking poor deer, and you're like, cunty porcupine.
Starting point is 01:24:38 That's what's ironic, is that, I mean, I'm the killer. I killed it. The porcupine was just doing its thing, but I hated the porcupine like it was something that slapped a friend of mine. That's so weird. Yeah, well, I guess you had an intense experience with it. Yeah. So then from there, we went there and skinned it. You have to avoid the stomach because the stomach smells like old guacamole.
Starting point is 01:24:59 It smells terrible. So I tried not to puncture that. I got a little nick in it. But I did a pretty good job. And then you clear all the guts out and then cut all the pieces away. But then we went fully from there to skinning it and then butchering it entirely. And it was cool to feel. The best part of the meat is the tenderloin.
Starting point is 01:25:15 That's what these filet mignon, chateaubriand, that's what all this tenderloin meat is. It's really tender. But not until I was up in there actually cutting the tenderloin out and feeling what it felt like. It feels more like organ meat than regular meat. You know, did I understand like, oh, this is different part of the animal. You know, this part of the animal is up inside like the cavity itself. It's not on the exterior part. So it works less. It's just different. It feels different. And that's why it tastes so delicious. And then the other parts like the haunches, the backstrap strap they have like kind of a more sinewy grittier feel well the back strap is the up along the spine it is the loin yeah no the back strap back strap is right along the spine
Starting point is 01:25:54 right on either side on the exterior the tenderloin is actually up inside the animal underneath like you go inside the rib cage so it's connected to the the back strap? It's another section of it? No, it's a completely different section. I thought it was the same thing. Yeah, no, the back strap is alongside of the spine, and then the tendon loin is up underneath the animal, part of the internal muscles that move the legs as well. There's a really cool video
Starting point is 01:26:18 of a dude taking apart a pig. I have it on my Twitter if you want to see it. It's kind of fucked up like it's on my twitter from a while ago so i don't know uh what the uh what the name of the video is see if you can find it brian because i know you're not doing anything else you want to show that on your stream uh i think you can dude taking apart the pig but my point point is, when you watch it, like you watch like the set, like, oh, well, there's bacon. Oh, well, there's the ham hocks.
Starting point is 01:26:50 Oh, well, there's that. There's this. There's the pork loin. There's the, when you're watching it, like, be dissected from an actual pig broken down. And he does it in like three minutes. They're fast. Yeah. This guy just hacks through this fucking thing.
Starting point is 01:27:03 He uses a saw in some spots. This isn't it. This is taken apart, but this is taken apart a cooked pig. This guy's got a raw one. That's the one you want. You want the raw pig. Gross. I think this is probably.
Starting point is 01:27:18 Yep. Well, this isn't the one that I had seen, but this is similar, where they just start slicing through. And it goes from an animal to meat. And it makes that weird transition. But when you kill it yourself, it never makes that transition. Even when it's meat, it's like there's a re... When you put that steak on the grill, and you're seasoning it, and you're cooking it,
Starting point is 01:27:41 this is a weird connection with that animal that you killed. Absolutely. Absolutely. Most people don't get that you know they don't ever have a chance to get that yeah and it's uh it's definitely something something completely different it changes your whole opinion of the meat and you know probably there's some there's some placebo effect in there because of your emotional state towards the animal but there there's also, you know, really feels like there's something tangible there too. You know, some deeper appreciation that actually manifests. And I don't know. I mean, your mind is so important in so many bodily functions.
Starting point is 01:28:15 To think that your mind couldn't affect your digestion or absorption or things like that, I don't think that's unreasonable either. But whatever it is, whether it's tangible or whether it's mental, you know, don't think that's unreasonable either, but whatever it is, whether it's tangible or whether it's mental, you know, the connection and the way that you, you know, approach and digest, assimilate that meat, which was, you know, energy from another animal, it's just different. Yeah. And even if it's not, I mean, it is healthy. And if you think it's different, it becomes different. If you have this, even like you can't, it's hard it becomes different yeah if you have this even like you can't it's hard to dismiss the emotional connection that you have to it because that emotional connection is very important
Starting point is 01:28:49 it is emotional connections are something that people poo poo oh you're just emotionally attached to that well maybe it's good you know maybe it's something that you like you know keep that thing whatever the fuck we're talking about emotional connections are not necessarily bad and if you have an emotional connection like that it would make the meat feel better make you feel better like about your sustenance every time we cook this deer we're pumped like we're excited about oh this tastes so good and it really does taste good but just the feeling of having gone out there and you know caught it butchered it put it in our freezer and then cooked it up, it's like a connection to something that our ancestors have been doing for thousands of years.
Starting point is 01:29:31 Yeah, it really is. It's weird. Even when you're doing it in a place with fences. Yeah. I mean, it's not like going to Africa and taking out a wild zebra, which, by the way, apparently are delicious. Apparently, zebras taste good. I never had horse before until I went to Joe Beef in Montreal, and they served us horse.
Starting point is 01:29:50 Oh, my God, it's goddamn delicious. A lot of cultures ate a lot of horse. People hate you saying that, man. They hate you saying that, and I get it. I've seen people and their horses. That's like their dog. Is pony better? It's probably more tender, smaller.
Starting point is 01:30:04 I don't know The Shetland ponies Are a little tough Tough bastards Yeah Anything with like The crazy pom pom feet Don't eat that
Starting point is 01:30:10 It's probably a crazy ass Budweiser horses Yeah Those are big fucking horses Too man What are they Chippendales What are they called
Starting point is 01:30:18 Clydesdales Chippendales Those can be Big stallions too Oh you went with The gay voice So when you went With the Chinese voice Earlier And the gay voice Clydesdales? Clydesdales. Chippendales. Those can be big stallions too, Brad. Oh, you went with the gay voice. So when you went with the Chinese voice earlier and the gay voice now, you son of a bitch. You son of a bitch.
Starting point is 01:30:41 So what we would do if we were going to have an on it hunting thing is basically just use that ranch and just work it through. They could do it through us, through our website. We explain it, maybe map out your experience, Whitney's experience, and I'm going to go there soon too, my experience. I want to shoot a buffalo. And people are like, it's not very sporting. I just want to eat a buffalo, and I want to shoot. I have a giant freezer, and I'm going to set it up to eat my own meat.
Starting point is 01:31:00 I just think it's the smart way to do it. I think it's the healthiest way to do it, and I think that a wild game like that, whether it's buffalo or deer, and especially venison, I think is like the most delicious meat on earth. Elk is absolutely delicious. It's really the smart thing to do if you can do it. If you can, if you have the time, if you have the finances to go to a place and hunt, it's really the smartest way to gather meat. I mean, it's just, it's a way we really should all do it. And if we did, we would have a totally different sense of like this connection between man and nature. Absolutely. Yeah. And you could combine it with a lot of other cool stuff. We could do, you know, kettlebell training workouts, mace club in the day, get people familiarized with that
Starting point is 01:31:37 aspect, you know, have some talks and discussions about different things in the nights and make a cool experience out of it. The problem is, is that you can't really get that many people with guns together at the same time. And we've got a lot of awesome customers who want to go do this. So it's like, can we do these things at 10 at a time? I don't think so. So the scalability of the gun thing is really challenging.
Starting point is 01:32:01 But we're going to try and get some face-to-face, some kind of program. I think the only thing smart to do with the gun thing is to let them do it let the branch do it we don't have because you don't want to put people with psychos like we're gonna have a four of you're gonna go hunting you there and one guy's just shooting the ground under his feet and trying to rocket jump you never know what the mean? You never know what the fuck you're getting into when you meet
Starting point is 01:32:27 some random strangers. It's just, we all love Alpha Brain. I love Alpha Brain. You love Alpha Brain. Let's play Most Dangerous Game. Rock, paper, scissors
Starting point is 01:32:36 to who gets killed. There's a lot of nuts out there is what I'm trying to say. But having a place where you have a gathering of the Juggalos type situation for Onnit fans. Everybody gets together and does battle robes until they throw up in the garbage. Battle robes.
Starting point is 01:32:54 Fucking shroom tech's amazing. Chest bump. Sounds like a natural progression for Onnit to start hunting. Well, not Onnit start hunting, but On have um have an option where we you know we connect you with one of those places yeah it would be it would be a cool i would love to have like a ted nugent style setup and it's it's definitely not this the same as going out into like the woods of alaska and going and getting a brown bear i think black bear and eating it. I think what I would call it is you call it conscious meat acquisition. Yes, that's a great way to say it.
Starting point is 01:33:26 It's like you're acquiring your meat in a conscious way, and that's really it. It happens to be at the tip of a rifle, but that's really what you're about doing. Do laser tag hunting with animals. Well, it's a funny thing, man. People do that with photos. People try to get the crosshairs. Yeah, they do that. They close up on them.
Starting point is 01:33:44 It's really dangerous in mountain lions. People try to do that. The, oh, fuck. Photo tag? What is it? Laser tag is where
Starting point is 01:33:54 you wear like a vest, right? Well, yeah, you could put like a vest on an animal like a cat and just have a laser tag cat ranch and you just try to shoot them
Starting point is 01:34:02 because they're fast. People don't have any problem with fishing in a place where they stock the fish. Nobody has a problem with that. You go to a lake and the fish are in the lake like, oh, they stocked it recently. It's great. Catch big trout. But if you go to a fenced in place and hunt an animal, you're a piece of shit.
Starting point is 01:34:18 Yeah. I guess the mammal thing. Fish don't seem... They're so different from us. I had a cool experience fishing, though, recently. I've always gone rod and reel fishing, and that's really foreign. You're just kind of waiting around, and all of a sudden, and you're like, oh, shit, and you grab the rod, and you reel it in, and you hope you get something, and then someone whacks it on the head,
Starting point is 01:34:37 and maybe you pull the hook out if you're brave, and sometimes you're with somebody who does it. Whatever that whole program is, it's different. But I went spearfishing recently which was kind of like a little bit of a different paradigm as well that one feels a lot different it's like hunting but for fish instead of fishing because you're out free diving with this a lot big wooden you know archaic looking thing with these bungee cords hooked to this little metal you know spear and you're just free diving down you know eight ten feet and chasing after these fish and trying to spear up
Starting point is 01:35:10 so what is it a spear gun yeah so basically it's an old time spiel gun the trigger releases the bungee cord so you wrap these bungee cords like this you pull them manually like this okay and they go on this like rod right and this the spear slides in a groove and the bungee cords are behind the rod right and then when you pull the trigger it just releases the thing that's holding the bungee cords like a rubber band gun uh-huh kind of and so it releases that and that propels the the the spear forward through the groove and the spear is attached to a cord right so the bungee cords it's all full manual energy. You pull the cords back, wrap it around, and then release it, and the bungees go.
Starting point is 01:35:51 But it's really particularly challenging because as soon as the spear hits the water, it starts to dive a little bit. It doesn't always go perfectly straight because of resistance. It's not like air. So how close do you have to get? It's not like air. So how close do you have to get? Good people who are good could probably do it 12 feet, 15 feet, maybe even farther.
Starting point is 01:36:20 People who suck like me initially, I had to get right up on these fish to get them like 6 feet, 8 feet. How many did you miss before you got one? A ton. A fucking ton. I was missing them constantly. You're swimming around there's a hard current but the cool thing is is some of the fish you can catch with the hook like you can get snapper which is really delicious but the guide on the boat and i was down in mexico doing this guide on the boat was telling me that parrotfish tastes like lobster and i should really get parrotfish well parrotfish are these little they have this little tiny mouth
Starting point is 01:36:43 all they do is eat algae and you never catch them with a hook because you can never get a hook in their little tiny mouth because you got nothing they want to eat that's on a hook unless you had a really algied hook or whatever. But it would never happen. But with spearfishing, you can actually target these fish. And so we got one. Actually, Whitney got it. I didn't get it. I fucking kept missing it. She was way more gangster with a speargun. I'll admit that. But anyway anyway so she got one of these parrotfish and then we brought it back to the boat and i was really curious to eat it we brought it in the chefs cooked it right away and it was fucking delicious best fish ever
Starting point is 01:37:13 one of the best fish that i've ever had it was like a cross between like a nice flaky white fish and like lobster like somewhere in the middle wow it It had kind of that richer kind of crustacean taste and texture. I want to go there and kill one just to eat it. Fuck yeah, it was so good. We had that, and I had triggerfish ceviche, which is another type of fish that you would never catch. Wow. So it opens up the possibilities.
Starting point is 01:37:38 And these fish are plentiful. It's not like they're endangered species. Did you see any sharks? I didn't. But that's dangerous when you're spearfishing, because the sharks will, you know, know that there's fish. Because when you hit the fish, there's fish guts exploding out the other side. Oh, Jesus.
Starting point is 01:37:53 So if there are sharks, it's not an optimal situation. So doing it, like, off South African coast would be a bad idea. Some dude just got jacked in France on his honeymoon. What was it, tiger shark? would be a bad idea. Some dude just got jacked in France on his honeymoon. Da-da-da-da-da-da. Was it a tiger shark? Surfing. I do not know what shark it was, but I do know that it was the third guy in two years to get jacked there.
Starting point is 01:38:15 Too many for my count. Yikes. You know what they should have? They should have a restaurant. They have these in Japan where it's just like this humongous saltwater pool in the middle. And you guys talk,
Starting point is 01:38:22 I got to piss. Where you fish and you catch your own dinner. And it seems like more places would have that. Like you just have pretty much a huge aquarium and you kind of get the fun of catching your own fish and then eating it on top of it. Back when I was thinking of silly Las Vegas restaurant ideas,
Starting point is 01:38:37 I thought of an idea where you had that with like lobsters and crabs and all kinds of stuff. And that you could tell a mermaid, someone with a mermaid fin, to go down and you'd point to the one you want, and the mermaid would go, okay, that's the one you want. She'd dive down and swim and grab it for you, and everybody could sit around the tank
Starting point is 01:38:54 and watch the mermaid swim around in there. If anybody here wants to take that idea, go ahead. I don't need any credit. I just want to go. Just give me a reservation. There's a bar in Sacramento called, I think, the Mermaid Bar, where it's just this huge, long bar, want to go just give me a reservation there's a bar in uh sacramento called i think the mermaid bar where it's just this huge long bar and on the top there's this humongous uh aquarium and they just have hot chicks in a like mermaid outfits just swimming back and forth and it's so eerie to just
Starting point is 01:39:19 see like this mermaid chick just swimming and bubby but what sucks is everyone just sits there and takes photos like no one's even talking. They're just taking photos of the mermaid. Right. And there's no real point to it. Right. So it feels gimmicky. Like, if they were actually fetching.
Starting point is 01:39:31 Fetching stuff. Fetching stuff. Working for you. Yeah. Or maybe, you know, they're trying to catch shit with a net. Like, you have fish in there, like you're saying. Yeah. They also have this restaurant.
Starting point is 01:39:39 I've been researching a lot of things in Japan lately. But they have this restaurant called the No Panties Restaurant. I knew you were going to go there. Where they have this. Why did I know you were going to say that? They have this thing, what's a, like a conveyor belt going around the top of the restaurant. They just have huge dishes. And so you just go there to your waitress and you're like, I would like that roast beef.
Starting point is 01:39:58 And then she sits, stands up on this like thing to get it. Why'd you choose roast beef? Exactly. And she's got no panties? And she's got no panties on. And so... There needs to be more restaurants like this in America. I mean, if you really liked to go, you would be constantly
Starting point is 01:40:11 getting more dishes. More food. Do you think that America's just too savage? And that people would just start grabbing her and they wouldn't be able to just let her do that? I guess. Is that what it is? I mean, there's not many restaurants like that in America anyway that are crazy. There's that restaurant, Dick's, where everyone's where they just are an asshole to you the whole time. I just think that most partners, most spouses in America just would not allow, would not go there.
Starting point is 01:40:36 Of course. And would not allow their husbands or boyfriends or anybody to go there, period, ever. It's not exactly family style. No. No, but there should be more adult restaurants. Like, have a Hooters where there's just no top? Well, they do. I mean, that place in Florida that we went to.
Starting point is 01:40:50 It's called a strip club, Brian. It exists. They serve wings and there's no tops. Yeah. It's already been done. Rachel's best food ever. Yeah, there's nothing wrong with looking at a little box while you're having some roast beef. I'm not.
Starting point is 01:41:02 Little vagina. And just like there's nothing wrong for the gals to go to Cox and get some chicken while dudes are swinging dicks in front of them. Hot dogs. They really want to...
Starting point is 01:41:11 What's wrong with it? Nothing. There's nothing wrong with it. Do whatever they want. Let them do what they want. Right? Wouldn't that be better? And let us all decide
Starting point is 01:41:19 what we actually like. Instead of confusing the shit out of Catholic school girls by telling them that Cox is bad. Who's the biggest freaks ever, right? Catholic school girls.
Starting point is 01:41:28 They're repressed. Did you ever have a Catholic school girl experience? Oh, yeah. One of my first girlfriends in Catholic high school, all girls high school, and every girl in that class was rabid. Rabid. They got a hold of some cock.
Starting point is 01:41:43 As soon as they got out of school, they would just start jerking dudes off. They couldn't help themselves. They were in a trance. Anytime you repress those natural instincts, you're going to get everything off. It's fascinating, isn't it? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 01:41:52 That girl was easily one of the most sexually explosive girls I had ever dated ever. As soon as you would start making out, she would go full satanic possession. It was insane. It was insane. She was rich with so many other emotions of sin and danger
Starting point is 01:42:09 and all of these things wrapped up with an already exciting sexual experience. Yeah. It's just too much to handle. Yeah. And we were both 17.
Starting point is 01:42:17 You know, what the fuck you're doing when you're 17? You're just, you're like, just a meat machine just moving to the whim of hormones.
Starting point is 01:42:25 That's why I like those dick pills. That's what happens to me. It's not, though. It's not the same. It's not the same. You're forcing it. You're like, I know this is going to feel so good. Plop, plop, glug, glug, glug, glug, glug.
Starting point is 01:42:37 There's a big difference between that and when you – do you remember those 17-year-old boners? Those things were ridiculous. They would hurt. Your dick would get so hard, it would hurt. Dude, my dick felt like it was going to blow up this morning. Yeah, but you're on pills, man. Some wacky fucking shit that you got at a counter store.
Starting point is 01:42:54 I had to do the thing where I had to take a shit when I woke up this morning, so I had to have a bucket that I usually use to clean my dog, so I could pee in the bucket because I couldn't tuck my dick down while I was shitting. Well, you've got to learn how to have better balance. You've got to look at it like doing a downward dog and just grab a hold of the top of the lid, you know, the top where the upper deck is, and then just bend down
Starting point is 01:43:14 and push your dick down. Yeah, but don't push your balls so far back that it gets in the way of your shit. Yeah, because that's going to slide right down your balls. You're going to have to do one at a time. That's what you're going to do one at a time that's what you're gonna I could have to yeah you have a fuck rock back and forth I mean when you guys shit you can't really stop that pee that's like a pee that you can't stop
Starting point is 01:43:32 while you're shitting because it will stop the shit also you know what I mean and then if you thought about it that deeply but now I am forced to I don't think I've ever actually shit with the boner, though. Oh, really? Yeah, I just wait. Well, Brian is constantly on Sialis. He's all day, every day, can't get rid of boners. It's affecting the way he shits. He's like holding it in
Starting point is 01:43:55 because he knows his boner lasts for six hours. Another three hours, I'll be able to shit. Yeah. One of the stories I've been reading after reading Daniele Bilelli's book, I went back and re reread some of my biographies of Rasputin. You know anything about that guy? Oh, yeah. He had a wart on his dick.
Starting point is 01:44:11 Yeah. Freak bastard. Apparently he had a foot-long dick with a wart at the root of it. Well, didn't they save it after they killed him? They did. Yeah. The guy, well, apparently the prince. Just pull it up, Brian.
Starting point is 01:44:22 Rasputin's cock. Prince Yusupov was apparently tried to make homosexual advances at Rasputin. He wasn't feeling it. Rasputin was an old, hard-drinking Siberian peasant wizard. Right. And he liked women. And that was part of the adaptations he made to his religion is that he always struggled with the fact that you couldn't have sex in Christianity, but he wanted to be a man of deep faith. Brian, it's right there under Google Images.
Starting point is 01:44:49 Rasputin's cock. They really do have it. Holy shit. So, yeah. Oh, God. Put it up. He would go and he'd struggle with it. You're allowed to have that on Ustream.
Starting point is 01:45:00 I talked to Brad today. Why is that? It looks like a potato. Put that up on Ustream. Look at that Brad today. Why is that? It looks like a potato. Put that up on Ustream. Look at that. That is Rasputin's dick. But apparently he could basically like... That's so fucked up. So he made an exception in his religion. He saw some birds singing
Starting point is 01:45:15 and this is his story. The birds were singing and they were moved by sexual desire to sing such a beautiful song. And if God made the birds sing to create such a song and bring that out of them, then man's sexual desire must be for the same thing.
Starting point is 01:45:29 And then he had this revelation in the forest, probably eating Amanita muscaria mushrooms. And then apparently he came across three women bathing. And he made love
Starting point is 01:45:37 to each of them in turn. And then prayed more clearly than he'd prayed in months. Of course. And it was solidified. Yeah, really, because your mind
Starting point is 01:45:44 is totally clear. Stunt was a giant dick. Fuck him. So course. And it was solidified. Yeah, really, because your mind is totally clear. I think Stud was a giant dick. So after that point, he was like, okay, God didn't strike me down, and I'm praying better than ever. So he adapted that to his kind of philosophy. But apparently he was kind of a bit of a hypnotist, wizard, whatever. I don't know how far you want to go with his powers, but the reports were that he could contract and dilate his pupils at will, like through mental control, so he could do like weird shit, and he had
Starting point is 01:46:09 a huge dick, and would just cut a swath through all of Russia, just banging everybody. Well, just saying that, that he was able to dilate his pupils at will, it probably means he was on drugs. Probably. Yeah. Most likely. Probably. A giant dick dude on drugs.
Starting point is 01:46:23 And look, they didn't cut it off at the end. It looks like they went in and kind of dug some of the dick out of it. Yeah, what they had to do to kill him. So apparently this guy Yusupov invited him. It's probably the balls, bro. They're old. A lot of people didn't like him. They hated him.
Starting point is 01:46:37 Yeah, he probably fucked everybody. There was accusations that he was fucking the Zarita because he was healing Tsar Nicholas' son. So all these kind of you know people were jealous at one point at one point he was having so much sex he loved drinking and dancing and fucking and he was in this bar and he's all haggard and they're like you're not rasputin and he's like like hell i'm not and he pulled his pants down and waved his dick around and it was like oh you're rasputin okay whatever damn but anyways this one guy wanted to prince yusupov apparently wanted to have sex with Rasputin. Rasputin wasn't down with it.
Starting point is 01:47:08 And the tide had kind of turned against him in popular culture, and he told his family that he was probably going to die. So they go there, and they start feeding him cyanide cakes, right? And apparently fed him enough cyanide cakes to kill many, many people. But that didn't work. Rasputin got a little bit sick, and then he kept eating the cakes, and he was like, play me some gypsy music, Yusupov, and started dancing. So they're like, oh, fuck, this isn't working. So then they took out a gun, shot him in his back,
Starting point is 01:47:35 bam, bam, bam, shot him right in the torso in his back, and apparently he just roared like a bear and stared at him. So they all freaked out, started kicking him and stomping him and kicked his head in, kicked him so hard that his eyeball fell out and just totally beat him to a bloody pulp and then wrapped him in a carpet, wrapped him in chains
Starting point is 01:47:53 and threw him in a frozen river. And then when they found the body washed up, he didn't die of any of that shit. He died of drowning because they had the water that they saw in his lungs from him gasping for air. Wow. So whatever the fuck this guy was doing, he was a strong motherfucker.
Starting point is 01:48:10 They were really unhappy with him. Yeah. Dude, his dick was 11 inches. That's big. And as thick as most men's wrists. That's what it says. Apparently the Russian women were all about it. That is incredible.
Starting point is 01:48:24 The dude was just super gangster. What do you mean it doesn't look that big? It's bigger than that chick's whole entire head. Apparently the Russian women were all about it. That is incredible. The dude was just super gangster. What do you mean it doesn't look that big? It's bigger than that chick's whole entire head. It's soft. No, it's not. Dude, it is soft. Oh, you son of a bitch. I don't think you're allowed to do that.
Starting point is 01:48:35 Brad from Ustream will frown upon those kind of shenanigans. We don't want to get them in trouble, Brian. Look, I think I found Bigfoot. Look in the jar. Shut the fuck up dude stop I've been talking to too many bigfoot people man this this this show has been very fascinating I'm learning a lot I can't wait to talk about it but I can't talk about it yet I'm learning a lot crazy people son Sasquatches too oh I'm wearing a lot. I'm learning a lot about crazy people, son.
Starting point is 01:49:06 Sasquatches, too? Oh, I'm learning a lot about everything. It's all connected. It's all connected. Psychic, Sasquatch, the whole thing. UFOs. Do you shave all your pubes, Joe? No. No, I shave my balls.
Starting point is 01:49:20 You do shave your balls? And I trim the upper stack. Do you put shaving cream on or you just lightly glide the blade over? I'm glad you asked, Brian. I like to use a double blade razor and defense soap. I lather up the old saccharine. With soap. Get it nice and primed with soap, and then just the razors of today,
Starting point is 01:49:37 you don't need to fucking. Only two blades, bro. You can go five blades. I don't know how many blades are on there, because I can't count. So I just get in there, whatever it says. You never nick it? Never, son. These razors are so good these days.
Starting point is 01:49:49 You're not going to nick it unless you're not paying attention. What about asshole? I let that go. You let it go. I let, welcome to the jungle. We got fun and games. I don't know what's going on back there. I leave it alone.
Starting point is 01:49:59 I wash it whenever possible and ignore it the rest of the time. It's like a squirrel with a bullet. I'm very happy with the balls forward. Everything back is an outsider. I don't know where it fits in the equation. Does your shit look like a rake went over it? My shit usually looks like there's a lot of green in there, like chunks of leafy vegetables,
Starting point is 01:50:21 until I gorge on meat, and then it becomes hard and chunky. Brian, do you think that hairy vaginas are making a comeback? They are, for sure. They are, but I mean, there's two different kinds. There's the ones that have always had the hairy vagina and then there's the girls that recently, like, I'm taking care of this and bringing it back because there was one recently where it was just like, no, this is like 70s vagina that hasn't been touched since the 70s. That's a little too much.
Starting point is 01:50:47 That's too much. That's disgusting. You know what? I like it completely shaved. Nothing wrong with that either. It's interesting, though, what a total victory porn has had over the way women take care of their vaginas. Complete. They've internalized the whole philosophy.
Starting point is 01:51:03 They had to keep up. They had to compete. Too many guys were looking at these perfectly shaved vaginas and with girls licking them and beating off to them. And then the women catch them and they're like, ah, this motherfucker likes this shit. I've got to shave it all down. And like the little Hitler ones that the girls do, that's almost like, hey, you're putting an eyelash or an eyebrow on your pussy.
Starting point is 01:51:23 That's creepier to me than having. Here's the thing, man. I never had a problem with the big bush. You know, when girls started trimming it all down, I was like, yeah, I guess that's better. But do you remember, like, when you were in high school and girls never shaved it? Yeah. It was always craziness down there. It was chaos down there.
Starting point is 01:51:42 And you didn't get upset. You know, you didn't get bummed out. You remember, like, we'd tell stories. Like, dude, all the way up to her asshole was just hair everywhere. Fucking hair all over her back. And there's a girl that I dated who had hair. She had hair everywhere. I mean, it was crazy. Her lower back was hairy. She was hot as fuck, though, dude.
Starting point is 01:51:57 It didn't matter. I could not deal with that. Oh, you could have. Trust me. You could have dealt with it. I'm definitely down with the whole hairy whole thing down there. But then. You could have dealt with it. I'm definitely down with the whole hairy, the whole thing down there. It doesn't bother me. But then the armpits still and the legs, I can't deal with that yet. I'm not even good with that when I see a little light fuzz on their cheek, you know, when the sunlight hits it right. That creeps me out.
Starting point is 01:52:17 But the armpits and like, even the hairy legs, not so much, but the armpits still fuck me up a little. I was friends with a gal who went to an all-girls college in Boston. I forget which one, but she was super left-wing, like the most left-wing person I ever dated. Vegetarian, full-on. Her friends didn't shave their legs at all. She didn't shave her legs either, but she was blonde, so you couldn't tell. But her friend looked like a hobbit. It was the strangest thing ever.
Starting point is 01:52:45 I went over to her house. Her friend was Greek, and she a hobbit. It was the strangest thing ever. I went over to her house. Her friend was Greek, and she had hobbit legs. Her legs were just black with hair and black feet. And I feel like a complete and total hypocrite to say there's something wrong with that. Complete, total hypocrite. It doesn't really fit. It doesn't fit at all.
Starting point is 01:53:00 How dare I say anything is wrong with that? If that's her choice? But, damn, it was gross. It didn't matter. I have no business thinking it's gross. I'm fucking gross-er for sure, but it was gross. I had to get out of there. It was freaking me out. It was fucking hairy feet.
Starting point is 01:53:20 It was just so weird. They were so weird. They were like, they were both, they both came from money, money and educated parents, and they were just fucking fighting the power tooth and claw. And I guess I really appreciate that in a lot of ways. If you have really oppressive parents or very strict parents who want you very rigid in their focus, you want to break away from that and form completely radical opposing opinions. opposing opinions make a statement but when the armpit hair starts creeping like
Starting point is 01:53:49 I've been a newbie just starts creeping over onto the tip you know you ever did you go here and it just yeah on the nipples yeah yeah big hairs so they didn't do it down the nipples yeah right yep Esther had one really long and I got bringing me back to weird places here now, Joe. Esther had one really long, and it got caught between my two front teeth, and I plucked, and she screamed. Oh, Jesus, son. That's not true.
Starting point is 01:54:13 It is. Wow, you just got called out, son. You just got called the fuck out. Now, you need to tell the truth, though. Is it true or is it not true? Yeah, it's true. Totally true. So somebody is rude. Somebody is rude for no reason.
Starting point is 01:54:24 Just being rude to Brian. Sorry, Brian. I apologize. No perfect person right there. All right, let's get the fuck out of here. It's late. It's 1030. I've been working all day
Starting point is 01:54:34 talking to crazy people. And I talked to a senator today about UFOs. Can't wait to tell you, but you're going to have to. Hey, if anybody hasn't seen any of my latest videos, I just did one on
Starting point is 01:54:45 the psychedelic experience pretty cool please try and check it out yeah you're doing like these Jason Silva inspired video pills yeah and they're

It's fun. That's a very good one. It's very fun. I enjoy it very much. I like that you're doing that too, man. And it's really easy to criticize those things.
Starting point is 01:55:09 It's really easy to mock them and make fun of. And if you were in front of me when you did it, I probably would have mocked you a little bit. But it's not that it's not good. Just trying to put some info out there. You're putting the right vibes out there. And that's the problem with the right vibes is they've been co-opted by silly douchebags. So if you get in that mix that energy vibe love mix you can
Starting point is 01:55:28 you know you immediately like what bitch what are you doing what are you trying to do over there you starting a call are you a shaman you fuckhead you know it's like no you're trying to do the right thing but there's so many people that aren't that are mixed up in the same vein I guess why I mean I hear going to Burning Man's a lot of fun. Good fucking luck with that. Good luck with that because there's at least 10 dudes there that you do not ever want to be stuck talking to. And they're in a tent right next to you.
Starting point is 01:55:54 There's at least 10 dudes. 10 dudes out of 20, I would say, at least. Let's be super generous. If Burning Man has 50,000 people, I don't know how many people it has. If it has 50,000 people and 10 of them are just insufferable twats, why would you go, right? Maybe because 10 of them are impossible inspirations. But the people that go to Burning Man, I know so many cool people that go.
Starting point is 01:56:16 There's a lot of fucking cool people that go. Graham Hancock goes. So you figure those guys balance out the cunts. Yeah. If you could stay with them. Stick close to the herd. Don't stray. That just sounds like a lot of, it's pretty intense.
Starting point is 01:56:29 Just dust everywhere. No sandwiches. Bartering forever. Probably awesome. We've never gone. How can we talk about this shit? We're talking shit about something we never did. We got to go.
